It consists of an unevenly faceted barrel which is decorated with a series of transverse grooves and expands along its length. At the junction between the barrel and the stock is a small priming hole to fire the musket. This has a cast outer ridge running around two sides. The stock is triangular in shape and tapers into an old break. On the underside of the stock are the remains of the trigger loop.Similar toy muskets and firearms have been published by Forsyth and Egan 2005, section 1 pages 88-104.
