Information

Germania
length 85,7 cm.
Barrels with octagonal breech, then faceted and finally octagonal again at the nozzle, both provided with foresight and fixed rear sight, featuring a brass-inlaid mark of a dragon being defeated by a hammer at the breech. Rifled bores (very dirty, need cleaning), with visible rifling; 13,8 mm cal. Breech with rolling block, decorated with engraved floral motifs and a leafy frame. Lock with slightly rounded lock plate signed "LINDENSCHMIDT IN MAINZ". The butt and the two fore-ends between the barrels made of marbled wood. The butt stock with cheekpiece and patchbox, wooden lid. The front section of the trigger guard serves as the release lever for the rotating barrel block (well working). Trigger and set trigger with working mechanism. Two iron suspension rings. On one side the wooden ramrod with iron and brass mounts. Some signs of use and time and light pitting to the iron parts. It deserves a proper restoration.
