Ulrich scroll engraving is on most of the frame and even around the “thumb print” on the dust cover and on the cartridge elevator and a circular panel scene showing a running stag is on the right. Traces of an inscription can be seen on the sideplate. The rifle remained in the same family for many years, and when they sold it, they unfortunately removed the inscription from the side plate. The rifle has a dovetailed globe front sight, standard two-line address and King’s patent marking, dovetailed sporting rear sight, Birmingham proof marks on the barrel, screw affixed dust cover guide rail, tang mounted graduated peep sight, plain trigger, serial number on the lower tang in an engraved panel, and deluxe checkered forearm and straight wrist stock with engraved matching assembly number “973” crescent rifle buttplate with trapdoor compartment containing the takedown cleaning rod. Assembly number “973” marked on lower left side of tang and in the stock inlet, which is also stamped “9”.
