- Lot Description
North America, Eastern United States, Kentucky, ca. second half of the 19th century CE. A gorgeous percussion rifle with a stock carved from stunning tiger maple. The carbon-steel octagonal barrel is secured within a deep recess along the forestock with a small key panel on the side, and has grooved rifling spirals within the barrel. The carbon-steel percussion mechanism has a thick hammer above the firing nipple, and the frontal trigger and rear set trigger are protected within a flowing trigger guard. The back stock gradually expands to the shoulder groove which is lined with a form-fitting brass applique, and an encircled star is pinned into the side of the stock. Additional brass tubes house the slender wooden ram rod within a slender groove beneath the forestock. The words "40 Cal" along with an encircled "M" are stamped into the back of the barrel. Size (rifle): 52" L (132.1 cm); size (barrel): 36" L (91.4 cm); caliber: 40.
