Title: A. Chamness stamped rifle
Post by: Glenn Hurley Jr. on September 11, 2023, 09:42:09 PM
A friend asked me about an old rifle he had.  I asked him if was signed and he wasn’t sure.  He sent me a few pictures and it is a percussion rifle with a short Hawken type fore end.  The name A Chamness is stamped across the top flat.  It has a barrel staple and a poured pewter nosecap.  I wondered if anyone knows when this maker was active.  This rifle belonged to his grandfather and it is staying with the grandson.  Any information would be appreciated.

I realize the photos would really help.  I am going to ask the owner if he permits the photos to be posted.  If he does I will do so.
