This close-up view of the patchbox shows that feature in greater detail. A light flourish of engraving can be seen at the head of the cover, it is expertly done. The patchbox is easily opened by depressing the button found on top of the rifle in the comb extension, when the button is depressed and internal latch is pressed down and the cover is allowed to pop open. Note the line of molding that runs along the base of the stock from the toe to the triggerguard, this molding line is duplicated on the opposite side of the rifle and also forward along the ramrod channel.
