AUCTION 45: ANTIQUE ARMS AND ARMOR
Lot 248:
The stock has been decoratively shaped with oblong protrusions along the portion affixed to the barrel. The backstrap has a decorative brass insert affixed just below similarly shaped carving in the wood of the stock itself. The pommel is of rounded brass with an engraved eight pointed star. The brass trigger guard is of brass and has a repoussé face just ahead of the trigger.
The lockplate is highly engraved with floral designs, as well as a small image of a reclining woman in the nude. The obverse of the lockplate is a filigree frame of brass held to the stock by two screws. The barrel itself has a raised center and engraving near the breech, with a small cartouche of an animal, possibly a deer, set below the word ‘LAZARIN’, this probably being the mark of the creator of this piece.
L: 19 1/2 in., (49.5 cm.)
Condition: Good condition overall with expected pitting due to age.
