Upper Bucks County Rifle
« on: April 08, 2023, 06:13:37 PM »
I purchased this on an online auction.  Has a L&R lock and a 50 cal. swamped barrel signed L. E. Williams.  The thumb piece is bone or I vor y.  While the stock shows some honest patina around the lock, there has been some wood removed to fit the L&R and the forestock shows fresh wood to fit the barrel.  Previously owned by a deceased Reenactor.

Any thoughts about the origin and age of this piece would be welcomed.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I know nothing about it except that I like it :)

Nothing beats the feel of a handmade southern iron mounted flintlock on a cold frosty morning

The stock shape/carving reminds me of something from the 1970s/80s.
