This is an early rifle dating to the mid 18th century. Even though it is a German Hunting rifle, this style of weapon was common among soldiers, foreign and domestic,\u00a0 during the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars.<\/p>\n

Another notable fact about these German rifles is that they were the predecessors of the Kentucky Rifle and that’s why I have it categorized here . This is a fine piece and I was happy to add this to my collection. A detailed description follows;<\/p>\n

\n

Rifled, \u00a0.82 caliber. 34″ flared octagonal barrel, with two-leaf folding rear notched sight, front brass blade sight. Early flat style lockplate engraved with vines and leaves and a knight. Double-set triggers, brass furniture. Nice carved wood stock with sliding wood patch box. Molding around the cheek piece and bottom of stock from toe to trigger guard. Rear tang sight.<\/p>\n

Condition: Barrel and lock are a nice dark brown mixed with some pitting. Stock has some nicks and dings with nice patina. It is, \u00a0overall, in fine original condition.<\/p>\n
