ATTIC CONDITION INCISE CARVED FLINTLOCK RIFLE BY SIMON MILLER, HAMBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

ATTIC CONDITION INCISE CARVED FLINTLOCK RIFLE BY SIMON MILLER, HAMBURG, PENNSYLVANIA. SN NSN. 42-1/4″ full oct 50 Cal. smooth bbl signed in script “S. Miller”. Rifle has Miller’s typical four piece patchbox with engraved lid and eleven piercings. Curly maple stock has all the original finish and is incise carved behind the cheek with Miller’s typical C scroll carving. Silver half-moon inlay on the cheek and a silver inlet strap across the face of the cheek. Two silver inlays to the rear of the bbl tang one being somewhat heart-shaped. The “I.P. Moore Warranted” lock appears to be original flint and the bbl is held to the stock by four bbl wedges. Brass sideplate is in Miller’s typical horned style and the gun has a 5″ brass saddleplate. Many of this guns features suggest manufacture in the Upper Susquehannah School and it is believed Miller relocated to that school at a later date.
