The slender forestock and thick back stock are carved from caramel-hued hardwood with a long groove that houses the barrel as well as the elongated ramrod. A thin trigger protrudes from below the back stock and still retains its action with the matchlock mechanism with pulled. The barrel is stamped with "JPR/EXR/2|4679," and the back stock has "746" stamped on one side. Size: 85.1" L (216.2 cm).
