- Lot Description
Western Europe, France, ca. second quarter to early fourth quarter of 18th century CE. A lovely St. Etienne rifle with a hardwood stock. The cylindrical iron barrel rests within a shallow groove of the forestock and is secured with three thin ringlets, and a wooden ram rod is tightly secured in a storage cavity underneath. The trigger is set within a thick trigger guard that has a frontal suspension loop and rests comfortably in front of the dense back stock lined with a curved iron panel. The flintlock lock plate features hallmarks that include a crowned H above the manufacturer's name "ST. ETIENNE," and the letters "U.S." are stamped behind the hammer and just in front of the barrel breech. Rifles like this were used as trade items between the French and Americans and were of the type used during much of the American Revolution. Size: 60" L (152.4 cm); (bore): 0.75" W (1.9 cm)
