Buchele Pennsylvania Longarm Pics
« on: October 09, 2024, 05:57:24 PM »
Did William Buchele take pictures of all his artistic firearm works? I have a copy of Contemporary Makers of Muzzle Loading Firearms (Weil, 1980), but I was hoping to see a larger collection of all his Longarm works presented.

Thanks,

I have seen this carving of William Penn and the Indian warrior on the stock of a Buchele Pennsylvania long rifle. I was hoping to see a complete pic of this rifle somewhere with some of its history, date made, etc.

Thanks,

I remember Mr.Buchele and talked to him when I saw him at the Friendship shoots.A talented artist for sure.I have wondered about the old raise and incised carved rifles and when rifles were really needed in the Revolutionary War,taking time to decorate a much needed weapon seems counter productive.My  personal choices in muzzle loaders are the very plain SMR's or the superb English Sporting and Target rifles of the 19th century.
