About 8 ga., 37 1/2” round barrel with a lightly oxidized bore. The barrel is a soft plum brown patina showing only remnants of its damascus pattern, with light oxidation and some sparsely scattered pitting as well. There is a simple brass bead front sight and remnants of an interesting rear bead sight as well, with remnants of the makers name near breech of barrel. The breech plug shows some light engraving as does the long tang, both are a dull pewter gray patina. The lockplate and hammer show the same nice quality loose open flowing scroll, the lockplate maker marked “E M Reilly & Co”.
