It is interesting to see a Canadian rifle, which at first glance I would have thought was a New England gun with its patchbox style, anchor shaped lock bolt washer, and single brass trigger. There is so little known about "Kentucky rifles" from north of the border, that we really don't "know one when we see one." I've seen several good quality longrifles over the years that appeared most likely to have come from New England, but couldn't quite place them. Makes me wonder now if they might have been "north of the border" Kentuckies. It would be a great leap in knowledge if someone would re-do Goodling's old "Canadian Gunsmiths" with up-dated information and more pictures of better rifles made up there. Benjamin Mills of later Harrodsburg, Kentucky fame was a superior gunsmith who got his start, and perhaps his training, up in Ontario, Canada. Shelby Gallien
