Cal. 70, smooth. 42-1/2″ oct to rnd bbl. This relief carved maple stock shows evidence that is was done in the York/Adams County area the relief-carving on the cheek side and around the comb are indicative of either George Schroyer or Johnathan Schriver. The carving flanking the rear ramrod pipe may be an addition. The relief-carving is very well done from the lock back but the carving along the forestock is a contrast to the balance of the gun. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: The molding and the forestock of the gun shows heavy wear with some wood replacement. The stock is finished. The flintlock is a reconversion and the old daisy headed brass patchbox which has the owners name “JONATHAN MILLER” is likely a replacement or addition. 4-49758 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 3331
