Somerset/Huntingdon PA rifle

[Shreckmeister]

I posted this rifle 10 years. ago.  Still looking for the maker.  There is a capital D in the signature and not much more can be made out.

Nice rifle for the late period. Are you thinking 1840's?

Just stumbled onto this current auction listing described as a "Fine Huntingdon County Percussion Kentucky Longrifle Signed Douglass With 34 Silver Inlays." Also with the "top flat stamped "D. DOUGLASS"

Maybe from the same hand?

That is pretty neat, you found another great rifle & discovered the maker of Shreckmeister's rifle.

Not a David Douglass rifle and not a Huntingdon County Rifle in my opinion.

I also think not Douglass. Where would you locate the origin of this rifle Mark?  I trust your judgement given your experience and this is your home area.
