A double barrel percussion rifle, adapted from flintlock, dating to circa 1810 with later alteration. Golden decoration on the lock plates both sides with eligible words: ???ECH / AND?. Silver inscription on the top of barrels Leclair Arq[ebusie]r a Paris. There is no Leclair noted in French Whos who, probably Leclair was dealer only, acting as gunsmith. Inscriptions on gold inlays are similar to English, what suggests that the rifle was made in Britain and retailed by Leclair on French market.

Original, wooden ramrod with bone (?) ending.
