Wall Hanger
« on: January 23, 2021, 01:22:01 AM »
This rifle is hanging in the home where my buddy is currently working. The home owner was nice enough to let him photograph it and would be interested if any info as to where or who may have built it. He thinks his father bought it in the 1960’s.

Well, originally flintlock and 1780-1810 are my first ballpark attempts. It’s likely a smoothbore. Very nice shape. There are some York County longrifles with similar patchbox finials.

My first thought was Dauphin County (position of patchbox). A restock of old furniture? Not the stock architecture of the York school

When I first saw this picture I immediately thought Lehigh.  But then more pictures showed that there’s not much else that would make you think it’s that.

Fries my butt that the hammer is left in the 'cocked' position.
