.48 cal, 32” octagon barrel with reeded edge muzzle turned for starter with a bright near excellent bore showing a little subtle oxidation in the grooves and crisp rifling throughout. The barrel has mostly toned to a deep gray-brown patina showing some scattered light handling marks and a bit of old pitting around the nipple bolster. The top flat retains strong J. Meunier Milwaukee markings while the upper tang and lockplate retain some wisps of case-hardened colors mostly toning to smoky gray patina, the hammer with a few spots of moderate pitting. The rifle is equipped with pewter nosecap, German silver wedge escutcheons and iron hardware consisting of a fancy spur triggerguard and long Berg-style buttplate. The checkered walnut stock remains in very fine condition showing a little older added oil finish with a few scattered thin drying cracks and light dings and the stock features a nice scant shadowline cheekpiece. A nicely-made walnut palm rest is included along with a brass-tipped hickory ramrod and the rifle is sighted with a long tube aperture tang sight and target globe front with bead-on-post. The lock with double set triggers seems to function well mechanically. A very good rifle from this well-regarded Wisconsin maker. (13B11108-85) {ANTIQUE} [Tom Devers Collection] (1800/2200)
