The nacre inlays are crescent shaped, rectangular, and rhomboid. What's more, a circular inlay opposite the lock plate features an engraved hippocamp! The trigger guard and patch box lid are decorated with scrolling foliate motifs, and the stock is adorned with a burnished cross hatch pattern as well. Leman company manufactured many of their guns specifically for trading with Native Americans. The nacre inlays are quite beautiful. A very fine piece! Size: 51" L x 4" W (129.5 cm x 10.2 cm)
