At the Princeton, IL, gun show this week-end there was a fullstocked gun with identical patchbox, single trigger, checkered wrist in style of New York guns, with barrel marked "R. Sterling Newburgh."
In looking through an old Jackson Arms catalog, I saw another full-stocked gun with identical box, barrel signed Wm. B. Fisher, Lynchburg Va." The rifle had a back action lock and double set triggers. This seems to show that the patchbox was in fact a commercial piece that really got around. Sheby Gallien
