HENRY NOLL CHAMBERSBURG SCHOOL RELIEF CARVED KENTUCKY RIFLE.

HENRY NOLL CHAMBERSBURG SCHOOL RELIEF CARVED KENTUCKY RIFLE. SN NSN. 58 Cal. Rifled 42″ full octagon barrel signed H. Noll. The low relief and incised carving on this rifle is very similar to that of Rifle No. 245 in Kindig’s “Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age”. The low relief carving forward of the patchbox and on the cheekpiece side of the butt show the beautifully executed C-scrolled designs with incised cross-hatching used by both John and Henry Noll. The rifle has ten silver inlays and a four piece brass-engraved patchbox. This patchbox has a Lancaster style daisy-head finial, it is interesting to note rifles pictured by Henry Noll exhibit his use of more than seven various finial styles. The engraved flintlock is unmarked by maker but appears to be original flint and correct for the rifle. The 7 1/2″ long brass toeplate has simple engraving and the rifle has double-set triggers. All the carving and inlays are consistent with Noll’s work in the Chambersburg School. CONDITION: This rifle shows signs of great use but is in the condition you like to find them. It is in “attic” condition throughout with no indication of any restoration or repairs and obviously was well kept. The patina on the brass and wood throughout is consistent. The lock and barrel show some signs of recent surface rusting which would indicate the gun has been in storage for many years, but there is no damage that cannot be improved with a good cleaning and oiling. The rifle is basically in untouched condition. 4-37387 RGG3 (20,000-25,000)
