Made with steel, pierced and chiselled mounts, and a walnut stock, every detail of this rifle exudes elegance. Measuring at an overall length of 122.70 cm and weighing just over 2 kilograms, this hunting rifle is both functional and visually stunning. The butt measures at a width of 12.70 cm while the barrel extends to a length of 90.80 cm with a bore width of 1.10 cm. Displayed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this piece holds historical significance as it represents the mastery achieved by Italian gunsmiths during that era.

The intricate engravings adorning this wheel-lock rifle further enhance its ornamental appeal. From decorative patterns to an elaborate trigger mechanism, every aspect has been meticulously designed to create a truly exceptional work of art. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this Italian masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical value today.
