- Lot Description
.38 caliber, 45.25" pinned octagonal barrel, .40" across the flats. 6.375" long tang, running the length of the wrist and terminating at the base of the comb. Browned finish, striped maple stock with raised carved cheek rest, German silver mountings. Flat, rounded percussion lock marked "LR," and so marked on the barrel, behind the rear sight. Barrel marked "PB" forward of the sight, with decorative line patterns between the two sets of initials. Double set triggers, Buckhorn rear and dovetailed blade front sights. German silver mounts include lightly engraved round patch box, pistol gripped trigger guard, butt and toe plates, side plate, nose cap, pin escutcheons, plate between trigger guard and entry pipe, two additional thimbles and numerous small decorative stock adornments. Decorations include two hearts and a 6-pointed star on the cheek rest, a deer with the initials "LR" on the reverse butt, as well as a fish and a crescent moon on the obverse. Most of the mounts are simply engraved with lines and folksy motifs. The long iron tang and styling of the rifle suggest mid-19th century production in eastern Tennessee or possibly western North Carolina.
Very good. Barrel with an oxidized brown patina with traces of the original finish present, as well as some scattered pinpricking. Good bore with pitting and strong rifling. Mechanically functional, although lock has no half cock and may not have ever had one. Stock good to very good with some expertly repaired cracks along the fore-end and some added finish. Otherwise with usual scattered bumps and dings.Condition
