About this work
Part of a pair. The lock is decorated with vines with leaves and half-man half-beast figures carrying a curled scroll with a signature on it and a tulip. The two barrels are mounted one above the other and bear an inscription. The stock has two grooves, one of which provides space for the ramrod. The furniture includes, among other things, two ramrod tubes, a trigger guard, a butt cap engraved with vines with leaves and dragons, and a ramrod with an iron cap.
