UNIQUE AND INTERESTING CARVED JACOB DICKERT LANCASTER RIFLE.

UNIQUE AND INTERESTING CARVED JACOB DICKERT LANCASTER RIFLE. This rifle has a 40 1/4 inch full octagon .52 caliber smooth barrel signed in script “J. Dickert”. The dark finished maple stock has very little curl but is artfully carved in the Dickert style with incised and low relief carving. The very unique and unusual brass four piece patch box is engraved like a serpent with the finial being its body and head. The rear ramrod entrance ferrule is elongated ending in a Bucks county style fleur-de-lis shape, also unusual for Dickert. The flint lock is unmarked. Jacob Dickert was born in Germany in 1740, immigrated to America with his parents in 1748, settled in Berks County moving to Lancaster Pa. in 1756 when Jacob was sixteen years of age. Jacob died in 1822. This is an opportunity to own a very interesting rifle by an early, well known, Lancaster Pa. gunsmith. CONDITION: The dark finish is worn through in many areas. There are old in period wood repairs on both sides of the barrel tang. The flint lock is a reconversion. This is a very nice and desirable J. Dickert long rifle. 4-46307 RGG3 (22,000-32,000)
