Absalom Moyer
« on: October 25, 2011, 08:30:05 PM »
Does anyone have an example of the signature of Absalom Moyer?  I am also looking for other suggestions for the maker of a Western PA percussion longrifle that is rather plain and has the script signature A. M.
I would put the gun in the 1850-1875 time period ie. hooked buttplate, small caliber, originally
percussion, little ornamentation.

Suzkat,
  Anthony Milliron: Conamaugh Township, Indiana County...related to David Milliron; Mahoning Township ( near Putneyville )...maybe a connection there, as David lived near Putneyville ( Snyderville maybe ? ) at the same time William Shreckengost was in business.
