R. Sterling gunsmith Newburgh?
« on: July 24, 2014, 05:59:14 AM »
I have a half stock silver mounted target rifle signed R Sterling Newburgh on the barrel and one of the silver inlays. Does anyone have any info on this gunmaker? Possibly Newburgh, NY?

Found a reference to an H G Sterling, "unlocated" maybe some pictures would help there is a tremendous amount of collective knowledge on this forum . Good luck

A couple of fine examples of flint guns made by R. Sterling, Newburgh, NY can be seen in The New York State Firearms Trade.
