LANCASTER COUNTY STYLE FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY RIFLE. Cal. 44. Nice light Kentucky with 39″ oct bbl, small applied German silver front sight and fixed original rear sight. The bbl and lockplate are unmarked. It is mounted in a beautifully figured tiger striped maple stock with brass furniture and a simple serpentine brass trigger guard.

It has a brass nosecap and two ramrod guides with a plain brass nosepipe. CONDITION: Very good, possibly a reconversion or at minimum has had the flash hole bushed. The iron has an overall very deep, dark patina with moderate rust. The nosepipe tail is broken. The stock has a couple of small cracks on the left side panel and another at the tip of the forestock, otherwise is sound and retains most of an old refinish. Mechanics are fine.
