.60 cal, 30'' damascus barrel with swamped muzzle and a partially bright good bore showing some light pitting and oxidation in the grooves with otherwise strong rifling. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a medium gray gunmetal patina with mild gray-brown undertones and scattered areas of old oxidation staining. The barrel retains generous twist damascus patterns throughout and shows maker information neatly inlaid in silver ''I. VALT. FUNK & SOHNE SUHL''. The breech plug shows dual silver bands as well and is nicely embellished along with the tang and back action lockplate with fine flowing foliate scrollwork throughout. The lockplate is equipped with a hammer rest safety and the barrel is secured with a pair of wedges in German silver escutcheons. The forward ramrod thimble has a wide flange and the tailpipe and other hardware shows nice foliate embellishments, the triggerguard being an old rather rudimentary replacement without any engraving. The patchbox features a foliate column and the cover is engraved with a nice little stag scene. The checkered walnut stock remains in very good plus to near very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and small partially repaired chip at the toe. The stock features a horn nosecap, contrasting rosewood inlay ahead of triggerguard and left-side cheekpiece behind which is a finely carved foliate and stag panel. The front sling swivel is missing, a simple wooden ramrod is present and the rifle is sighted with a simple v-notch rear sight and German silver blade front, the upper tang with a vacant hole for affixing additional period sights. The lock with double set triggers is single-acting and seems to function normally. A very good jaeger rifle from the prolific Funk family. (13B11804-26) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1800/2200)
