ID School buttplate/Trigger guard
« on: September 03, 2021, 03:26:05 AM »
Recently inherited a dozen of these brass Buttplates & Triggerguards.

What school would these fall under?




Thanks,
Jeff

The guard is for a double set trigger and both are 1780-90-ish. Could work for York and Lancaster rifles of that period.

The buttplate could be used on some of the Sheetz or northern Virginia styles.

Very versatile with a little bending to make the rail stand further or close to the wrist.
