- Lot Description
North America, United States, ca. 19th century CE. A handsome wood and iron half stock percussion rifle with brass inlays! The rifle has a octagonal steel barrel with a ramrod groove and brass ramrod guides on the underside with a brass tipped ramrod. The double trigger is enclosed in a brass guard and above the iron lock plate is etched with foliate motifs and a faint mark that partially reads "WARRANTED." Along the forestock and backstock are brass ornaments in crescents, fish, diamonds, and star shapes. A brass butt cap completes this fine rifle. The wood has developed a wonderful warm red patina, and this rifle would be a beautiful display piece! Size: 52.25" L x 4" W (132.7 cm x 10.2 cm); bore size: 0.4" W (1 cm)
