About this work

Wallock with octagonal rifled barrel. The stock is made of wood and is decorated with carved scroll motifs. At the end of the stock, a copper stock band. Halfway along the barrel, a square copper stock band with an iron pin passing through on both sides. The flat lock is made of iron, to which the match holder and the pan (which can be opened sideways) are attached; the match holder is fixed with a copper screw. On the other side of the lock, there are two iron tightening screws. The stock is made of wood and has a copper buttplate, which is fixed with an iron round pin. The trigger guard is made of iron and is curved for the grip of the carrier's hand. The trigger is attached to pierced mount with curled motifs. Under the stock, a wooden ramrod of a different color than the wallock. On the barrel, an iron front sight notch.
