LATE PERCUSSION BOAR RIFLE. Cal. about 62. Probably German with a 30 7/8” oct bbl with multiple deep rifling, tiny fixed sights with a bayonet lug on the right side of the muzzle. It has an unmarked back action lock with brass furniture and a serpentine brass trigger guard and musket style buttplate. It is mounted in a 1-pc full-length walnut stock that has a stylized brass nosecap with integral ramrod guide and sling swivel base. It has a brass nose pipe. The bbl is secured in the stock with two wedges. The stock has a checkered wrist and deep cheekpiece with carved daisy at the rear. The tumbler has a clean out screw. It has what appears to be the original ramrod with a brass mushroom head and steel body covered with stacked leather washers. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbl retains a smooth dark brown patina with pitting around the nipple area. Lockplate has silvered case colors and the stock is sound with only a hairline in front of the hammer and retains most of an old refinish. Mechanics are fine. Bore has deep strong rifling that is very dark but may clean better. 4-52256 JR92 (1,000-2,000)
