Description
American Percussion, "mule ear," Side Hammer, Full Stock "Kentucky" Style Rifle, Circa 1845. Although unmarked, the very wide trigger guard and pointed finial on the rear ramrod pipe would imply eastern Pennsylvania origins. 34" octagonal .44 caliber rifled barrel, smooth and dark with just some pitting at the breech and a new nipple. Hand crafted "mule ear" lock and hammer both scroll engraved. All brass furniture, along with German silver cheek piece and wrist escutcheons, perfect. There is rack engraving around the edge of the patchbox and both escutcheons. 13/16" wide trigger guard with, uniquely, a brass trigger, 3.5" toe plate. Nicely figured walnut stock with moulded cheek piece excellent, with nice smooth dark patina, key fastened barrel. Original hickory ramrod with a threaded brass tip. A pretty gun in very nice condition.Auction Info
