Detailed photos of an Eli Nup (Knupp) rifle
« on: September 30, 2024, 06:38:40 PM »
I just made a new web page with a highly detailed photo survey of a rifle in excellent condition that is signed "ELI NUP" in block letters. The new page also has a link to biographical information about Elias Knupp, and links to pages about some of his gunsmithing relatives. Here's the link:

Very neat. Thank you for sharing. Your website is an excellent resource.

That is a unique piece. I have never seen one like it. It is folksy in a wonderful way. Thanks for posting.
