Signed Tula firearms are notably rare and few by this maker are recorded. Another is preserved in the Moscow Kremlin and another, formerly in the Clay P. Bedford collection, is illustrated in W. B. Gusler and J. D. Lavin, 1977, p. 226-227. The Bedford gun and the present example both share a number of features that are characteristic of high quality Tula gunmaking of this period. Namely, the use of silver and two colours of gold on the steel mounts, fine silver wire on the stock, and inlaid gilt copper plaques. The style and use of damascene about the tang of the Bedford gun is identical to that of the present gun`s butt-plate and trigger-guard. Both guns share the use of the inverted Imperial crown on the cheek-piece, all of which are indictative of this maker`s work. See J.F. Hayward, 1963, p. 268 and ill. 79C.
