Very detailed smoothbore percussion gun, lot's of engraving, lot's of wood carving. Probably this is snake garden gun but there might be different opinion about it's purpose. Barrel engraved in German which translated: "P. Lotz and Son Suhl" so I conclude that this gun was made in famous gunmaking town of Suhl in Germany, sort of like Solingen for knife collectors

Percussion lock works very good and locks in all positions, there's external safety which also works great. Nipple looks good and accommodated Remington #11 cap with no problem. I don't have nipple wrench of a correct size but side service screw came off with no problems. There's one old repaired crack in stock, please see pictures. Because of the small caliber I was not able to put light to the bottom of this bore but what I see from the outside looks pretty good, smooth and clean.

$875 Shipped, layaways available up to 6 month with $300 down
