It has a round .64 caliber 3 & 3/4 inch barrel with 6 GOLD filled Triangles and 6 GOLD bands on the top of the barrel near the lock.There is also an engraved design in front of that. Probably made in Colonial America in the mid to late 1700's. The overall length is 7 & 1/2 inches and there is a wood ramrod with a metal tip. The action works and the hammer holds on full and half cock. It has a full stock which is in good shape .
