This gun sold a while back, but I wanted to post the info with the link showing several great photos.
"This is a very unusual Tennessee Rifle. Gabriel McInturff was making rifles around present day Unicoi County, Tennessee in 1838. He was born in 1805 in Washington County, Tennessee so much of his work may actually predate 1838. This gun has nice architecture that is very graceful. It has a tiger stripe maple stock with a Tennessee style barrel tang, a fairly elaborate counter pane inlay, six pointed Star of David on the right side of the stock, a thumb print inlay on the wrist and a missing tear drop inlay in front of the butt plate tang. Remarkably it is incise carved in "S" and "C" scrolls on the right side of the butt, on both sides where the comb of the stock meets the wrist and is molded along the bottom of the butt and the forearm. It was made with a mixture of brass, German silver and pewter. It actually has a solid pewter trigger guard and butt plate, which I have never seen before. The top of the barrel is deeply stamped "G. McInturff, WARTd". The barrel is 46 3/4 inches long in approximately 36 caliber. The overall length is 62 1/2 inches. There is considerable chippage along the forearm, where it meets the barrel, especially on the right side and some chip out at forward bottom of the lockplate. Even so, the gun is attic, untouched, and unrestored."
