Flint gun, Part of a couple. The lock is engraved with borders, leaves and a signature of the maker. The barrel has three bands with rings and a gold-plated, brass visor bead in the shape of a grotesque embossed mask, marked on top with the coat of arms of Utrecht and twice with a crowned heart on the bottom. The flask is simply cut with, among other things, acanthus leaves. The previously gilded yellow brass fittings with embossed relief decorations, apart from the two octagonal loading rod sleeves, consist of a trigger guard with a mask on it, a symmetrical screw plate of ajour-worked leaves
