Stamped "N12CFR" on the pigtail. Z a m e k wheeled, with an external spring and wheel, located on the outside of the breech plate. Above the wheel, a powder pan with a movable cap and a flame shield to protect the shooter from being burned when firing. The cock resembling a dragon or bird's head, equipped with a circular ring for the finger. The lock plate, the foot, the upper part of the cock and the brass spring caps (i.e. the main and cock), decorated with engraved representations of leaves and flowers. The lock mechanism is in working order. The stock is made of stained walnut wood, the bed reaching the barrel's mouth, finished with a bone ferrule, with an engraved motif of palmettoes. Underneath the bed, in a hollow channel, placed a buckler ending in a bone reinforcement with a meander motif. The neck, arched downward, passes into a flask, trapezoidal in cross-section, formed in the shape of the so-called deer leg. On the right, outer side of the flask, a drawer for pyrite with an elongated, triangular lid, equipped with a latch. The rear, strongly beveled part of the flask, called the foot or head, with a flat, horned lining, provided with an iron ball, used for direct support on the ground. Trigger-tongue guard with three finger notches. The decoration of the buttstock presents the classic Cieszyn style of the floral variety, where rich inlay of white deer horn, bone and stock fills the wooden planes. The flask decoration consists of rosettes framed by four stylized tulip cups on one side and two on the other. Surrounded by numerous discs, stars and palmettes. These motifs are adjacent on the bed to elongated bone inlays filled with braid and stylized leaves.
