CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FLINTLOCK INCISED CARVED KENTUCKY RIFLE.

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FLINTLOCK INCISED CARVED KENTUCKY RIFLE. This rifle has a curly maple stock with incised carving on the cheek piece side of the butt, a checkered wrist, and a 4-pc brass unengraved patchbox. The patchbox and the incised carving design are typical of the upper Susquehanna Snyder-Union County School of Gunsmithing. The brass 2-screw side plate appears, however, to be of a further western style. The 42″ full oct 50 cal bbl is unsigned. The flint lock is marked by its maker “Joseph Goulcher”. CONDITION: The rifle has two age cracks at the toe, but otherwise it seems to be sound throughout. Triggerguard is probably a replacement as there is a small rect. wood plug to the rear where a larger guard had orig been placed. 4-32176 (8,500-9,500)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
