Jacob Albright worked in Penns Valley, Haines Township in Centre County PA. where he died in 1840. He is listed as a gunsmith there as early as 1801. The rifle was originally made for an older man and the sight was moved back in period for a younger owner. CONDITION: The flint lock has been reconverted and there is an old shrinkage crack to the rear of the nose cap under the ramrod. The incised carving is well worn from hard usage, but the rifle is in overall untouched attic condition throughout. This is a truly unique and desirable J.
