A relief beaver tail surrounds the barrel tang. There are also a series of crown markings and numbers on the ramrod channel and two crown over "9" inspection stamps on the right side of the grip just above the trigger guard.

Stock shows some minor storage marks and a chip missing above the rear lock tang. A very fine example of this Napoleonic Pattern.
