.65 caliber. 35.5" pinned three-stage octagon to round barrel with baluster turned rings at the transitions. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass and iron furniture, beech stock. The lock remains in original flint configuration and may well be a period of use replacement. It is marked "J HENRY" under the pan and "49/PCJ & CO" in two vertical lines at the tail, indicating production in 1849. The barrel has the Liege "E/LG/*" in an oval proof and the balance of the gun appears to be of Belgian "Northwest" pattern construction. The buttplate is missing and the butt may have beens slightly shortened and it is possible the barrel was slightly shortened as well. The gun is decorated with a dozen brass tacks, six on each side of the forend that have square brass shanks. A wood ramrod is secured in the corrugated brass pipes.
