Description
This is a single non-firing decorative toy long gun designed in the style of a percussion-lock muzzle-loading rifle. The item features a full-length wooden stock and a metal barrel secured by two simple metal barrel bands. The firing mechanism is non-functional and is characterised as a simplified toy type, featuring an external wire spring on the left side of the lock area and a large circular void in the stock where a hammer or percussion nipple would typically be located. The metal lock plate features decorative scrollwork and a central emblem depicting a bird, though no legible manufacturer markings or serial numbers are present. The barrel measures approximately 24 inches with an overall length of approximately 41 inches. The overall appearance shows significant surface wear, scratches to the wood, and missing mechanical components including the hammer and percussion nipple. This item is intended for decorative purposes or as a theatrical prop and is not capable of firing.
