.38 cal, 34'' round barrels with mostly bright very fine bores showing a little bit oxidation and pinprick pitting nearer the muzzles and otherwise crisp rifling. The barrels retain perhaps 75% original plum-brown finish with areas toning to gray-brown and gunmetal along with some scattered small areas of old oxidation and a bit of erosion around the nipple bolsters. The top barrel shows strong ''B.C. WOOD / P.POST N.Y.'' marking and the back action lockplates are also both maker-marked showing remnants of silvery case-hardened patina. The spur triggerguard is iron while the crescent buttplate, toe plate and pendulum patchbox are German silver. The smooth walnut stock features a very subtle squared-off left-side cheekpiece and remains in about very fine condition showing an old antique varnish that has taken on a fine craquelure along with some scattered light dings and handling marks. The rifle is sighted with a folding tang aperture disc, the sporting rear sight has been bent down long ago and the front is a German silver blade that is a little loose on its base. A pair of simple hickory ramrods is present and the hammer are two different styles but the locks seems to function normally. A very respectable double rifle from Barry C. Wood of Painted Post. (13B11804-12) {ANTIQUE} [Dale Beeks Collection] (1200/1800)
