EXTREMELY ELABORATE HUNTINGDON COUNTY PERCUSSION RIFLE

EXTREMELY ELABORATE HUNTINGDON COUNTY PERCUSSION RIFLE. This very decorative percussion rifle has a 40 inch full octagon .40 caliber rifled barrel. The barrel is unsigned but is nicely engraved around the front sight and behind the rear sight. The rifle features thirty-nine engraved silver inlays, a silver saddle plate and a silver side plate. The curly Maple stock was finished dark in the style of James or Joseph Douglass of Huntingdon County to whom the gun is attributed. The four piece brass engraved patch box has nine piercings.
