It has a 26" octagon bbl and a fine patina on the receiver with good blueing on the barrel. And it shoots.[IMG][/IMG]
It has a old Marbles tang sight and a Marbles front sight as well. The dovetail slot was left empty when the rear sight was removed and was a bit unsightly. I figured that no matter what I bought or made from steel was just not going to look right. I dug around in my engraving stuff and found a piece of brass .120" thick.

Using a bastard file I formed up the matching dovetail and octagon facets and roughly engraved a border and a small scroll. I think it looks just right. And will only look better with age.
