Gunpowder tester

Wheel-type powder tester with a vertical chimney; mounted on a pistol stock. The lock is unadorned. The stock is simply carved. The furniture consists of a forked, yellow-brass trigger guard at the rear, an iron trigger plate, and a large iron wing screw under the fore-end serving as a bipod. The notched wheel of the test mechanism is marked with the numbers 1 to 14 and is held in place by a loop on a screw on the fore-end; the touchhole in the block is lined with gold.
