This rifle has blade and notch sights, no visible markings on the barrel or lock, some light engraving on the latter, a rare adjustable single set trigger, light engraving on the patchbox, incised lines terminating in light scroll carving on the forend, nineteen silver accents (including crescent moons and a head in front of the lock and two crescent moons flaking a hunter's star on the cheekpiece), incised molding along the bottom of the butt, and a very ornate panel of carving primarily consisting of the letters "JA" behind the cheekpiece.

Attributed to Jacob Albright of what is now Center County, Pennsylvania. Rifle No. 71 in Kindig's "Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in Its Golden Age" has a similar carving and is noted as "Signed 'J. Alb.' (probably J. Albright)." There are other examples with the same carving known today.
