McKim of Baltimore Iron Patchbox Rifle
« on: October 26, 2011, 06:13:57 AM »
Hi Guys, I am going to post photos of several rifles I have run across.  They  are not for sale, I am looking for information and desireability.  The first is maked McKim of Baltimore.  Half stock with back action lock, but a very unique gun.

The patchbox and tall butt shares similarities to guns by Alexander McGilvary of Virginia. Anything left of a name or initials on the barrel?  Shelby Gallien

The full name is on the lock and the barrel, both SAY, McKim, Baltimore, I thought I have the barrel markings, but apparently I deleted them in processing the photos. Sorry about that.
(I will have to check the barrel, but you see the markings on the lock in one photo)


this gun has been in a collection since the 1960's.
