Cal. 54. 32-5/8″ Browned round barrel has multi-groove rifling that extends to 3″ from muzzle to allow for muzzle-loading.

Iron furniture is also browned. Oil finished walnut stock is unmarked except for “R” deeply stamped behind trigger guard. Mr. Howard’s notes indicate that he acquired this item from Mitch Luksich in 1979. PROVENANCE: Robert Howard Estate Collection. CONDITION: Exceptionally fine.
