CHAMBERSBURG SCHOOL KENTUCKY RIFLE BY HENRY NOLL.SN NSN. 42″ full oct .40 Cal smooth bbl signed “HN”. Overall 58″, butt is 4-3/8″ x 1-1/8″. 4-pc brass patchbox has a beautifully engraved finial and door is separated from side plates with wood piercings. Curly maple stock is incised carved forward of cheekpiece and patchbox. Large oval silver inlay on cheek with engraved American eagle, oval silver inlay on top of wrist, an attractively engraved silver inlay on both sides of wrist area of stock, and a silver inlay extending 1-1/2″ into stock on cheekpiece side at buttplate. Brass sideplate is nicely engraved and has 3 screws, the rear screw being a wood screw. Flintlock is marked “J.Albert&Co”. Henry Noll was the son of John Noll but was not as good a craftsman as his father. Henry and his father worked together and the fine forestock molding on this rifle appears to be the hand of his father as very well might be the engraving on the patchbox finial. PROVENANCE: Frank Sujansky Collection. CONDITION: Good. 12″ of forend has been replaced at muzzle. 1/2″ of wood is missing along bbl forward of frizzen. Forward sideplate screw is an incorrect replacement that does not extend into the lock. 4-49427 RG27 (6,000-9,000) – Lot 2354
