- Lot Description
North America, United States, ca. 19th century CE. A handsome percussion rifle with a lengthy iron barrel, wood stock, and brass fittings and inlays. The rifle has an octagonal steel barrel with a notched sight and a ramrod groove and brass ramrod guides on the underside. On the top of the barrel, near forestock, is a faint engraved name in script, likely the owner, and the iron lockplate is etched with etched linear motifs. The trigger is enclosed in a brass guard and along the forestock and backstock are brass ornaments in diamond and heart shapes. A rectangular brass patch box and a scrolling panel is set into the backstock for holding extra patches and a brass butt cap is riveted flush against the stock, completing this gun. The wood is tiger maple and has developed a wonderful warm red patina with honey-colored striations. This rifle would be a beautiful display piece! Size: 50.25" L x 4.5" W (127.6 cm x 11.4 cm); bore: 0.4" W (1 cm)
Provenance: private J. P. collection, Rye, Colorado, USA; ex-Bill Buffinger collection, Hollywood, California, USA, before 2000
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
