PERCUSSION HUNTINGTON COUNTY KENTUCKY RIFLE SIGNED BJK. SN NSN. 40 Cal. 41″ full octagon barrel signed BJK in script. This rifle is typical of those made in Huntington County, PA with its narrow buttstock and 20 silver inlays. The rifle has a nice 6 1/2″ brass engraved saddleplate with three piercings and a four-piece equally nice engraved patchbox with five piercings. The curly maple stock shows evidence of some light incised carving at the wrist. The silver football-shaped cheekpiece inlay is finely engraved with an eagle motif. The brass sideplate has two piercings. CONDITION: The rifle is complete and original throughout showing normal signs of hard usage. The percussion lock is heavily pitted and in need of adjustment. There is a 5/8″ by 1/8″ piece of wood missing on the cheekpiece side at the buttplate and the patchbox side panels are loose at the forward end as a number of the brass retaining nails are missing. The patchbox release is not working. 4-37382 RGG10 (2,500-3,500)
