RELIEF CARVED CURLY MAPLE KENTUCKY RIFLE ATTRIBUTED TO WOLFGANG HAGA. SN NSN. This is a very interesting early rifle with a 44″ full oct unsigned 58 Cal. Smooth bbl held to the stock with four bbl wedges. Rifle has a very nice curly maple stock striped throughout with a four piece unengraved reading area patchbox. Heavy relief carving forward and rear of the cheekpiece is very similar to the flower style carving on rifle number 75 attributed to Haga in Kindig’s Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age and is very deep and original. Sideplate on this rifle is heavy beveled brass suggesting it is earlier than Kindig’s rifle number 75. Panels around the sideplate and lock are nicely relief carved. Rifle has no carving on the wrist forward of the patchbox. The rifle is relief carved around the bbl tang and around the rear ramrod entrance pipe. 4″ toe plate has an attractive finial and the unmarked flint lock appears to be original. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Rifle is in very nice orig condition throughout with no evidence of repairs or restoration. Finish all appears to be original. Ramrod is old, but may not be original to the gun. 4-50067 RG33 (20,000-35,000)
