S. Buchanan
« on: March 27, 2020, 01:54:24 AM »
Any one have knowledge of an early gunsmith S. Buchanan.  I found one of his gun's (flintlock) that sold through an auction house so at least I know there was an S. Buchanan, the barrel I am researching had a "barrel type" nipple base and is over 30 inches.  If anyone can shed some little on this maker I would be grateful.

Jerry Noble lists an "Samuel Buchanan" in Ithaca, New York working in the 1820-1823 era, and Lockport, NY in 1830. Jerry also lists a "Samuel Buchanan" in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1850, but that seems too late to be your man.

Tom.

Welcome to the forum.

"The Gunsmiths and Gunmakers of Eastern Pennsylvania" by Whisker & Chandler (published 1982 by Old Bedford Village Press) lists a Samuel Buchanan, about 1815, in Halifax, Dauphin County.

Enjoy the rifle and the search for more information,
Kevin

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
