- Lot Description
.45 caliber, 43.25" octagonal barrel. Full stocked with semi-Roman nosed butt and raised cheek rest on reverse with bone inlay, flat toe line. Four piece engraved brass patchbox, plain flat brass sideplate, semi-pistol gripped brass trigger guard, long brass cover from front of trigger guard to brass entry pipe, lightly engraved, two additional brass pipes, brass nose cap, two-piece brass buttplate. Flat stepped iron flintlock with teat at rear, marked KETLAND, fenced iron pan, flat swan neck cock. Dovetailed notched rear sight and dovetailed blade front sight. Wooden ramrod.
Stylistically the rifle is attributed to Jacob Deemer, who worked in Northhampton County, PA during the 1850s, making rifles in a Bedford County style. (Sellers)
Good overall. Likely a re-conversion to flint. Barrel with mottled gray and brown patina and a fair, heavily oxidized bore. Lock mechanically functional with pitting partially obscuring the markings. Patchbox and mounts with an attractive golden patina. Stock with some cracks and splintering in the fore-end and some wood loss around the tang and small repairs in that region as well.Condition
