RELIEF-CARVED WOLFGANG HAGA, READING, PENNSYLVANIA, KENTUCKY RIFLE.

RELIEF-CARVED WOLFGANG HAGA, READING, PENNSYLVANIA, KENTUCKY RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 45. Smooth bore 44-1/4″ full oct unmarked bbl. Wolfgang Haga is one of the 4 master gunsmiths of the Womelsdorf-Reading school of gunsmithing. The gun has a 4-pc brass patchbox, typical Reading-area brass hardware, & high-relief carving on the cheek side of the butt, behind the bbl tang, & the rear entrance ferrule, which is all consistent with Haga’s style. The flintlock is marked “KETLAND & Co”. There is evidence of curl in the maple stock. CONDITION: This gun is in fine condition throughout, with the exception of the fact that it apparently was at one time broken through at the wrist & 3-4″ inches of the wrist section has been totally replaced with a new wood repair. The patchbox release needs adjustment as the door will not open at this time. This gun represents a chance to own a reasonably priced relief-carved, golden age Kentucky Rifle. 4-33485 RGG16 (2,500-4,500)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
