Corrado,
This is a staggeringly beautiful rifle! Very highest quality and very rare as well! Congratulations on finding such a piece. To me, the little animals depicted so well, are an enchanting detail.. They are so full of life and movement. I always enjoy seeing such engraving and scrimshaw work. Thank you for showing it! The gilded bronze is what we would expect. Very rare on any arm for the gold to be solid. In fact hardly ever heard of. It is a lovely piece!!! It would be very hard to find something that could be more delightful to look at. Again, thank you for showing it! Richard. |

I'm speechless. Congratulations on a magnificent rifle. Sure to be at the top of anyone's collection. One could spend hours just holding and looking at it.
