Spencer Stafford Info Wanted
« on: December 10, 2009, 08:54:14 PM »
Here in the UK my local auction have a 40 calibre  Kentucky type  percussion rifle by Spencer Stafford any body  have any info on this maker.
The gun is original and looks as though it was a flinter converted to percussion with a drum and nipple  it is in poor condition  the wrist  is broken and  repaired with pewter sheet wrapped around the wrist ,the stock is curly maple .If  the price is reasonable I may  bid on it.

Frank Sellers' American Gunsmiths, lists "Stafford, S & H, unlocated, flintlock Kentucky". That's as close as I could find.

Gun was sold today at auction for £420 sterling plus commission .A bit too pricey for me it needed a lot of restoration
