PETER GONTER SR & JR FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY RIFLE

Item Details

Description

Partial octagonal 37 inch 50 caliber barrel signed Gonter in cursive, finely carved full stock is set with bright cut silver, curved brass butt plate and engraved phoenix -form brass patch box. 52 1/2 inches (overall) N.B. Revolutionary War era flintlock rifle made by Peter Gonter of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The biography of Peter Gonter in "KENTUCKY RIFLE IN ITS GOLDEN AGE" by Joe Kindig Jr., states that Peter Gonter was a Lancaster gunmaker who was born in 1751 and probably made Kentucky rifles from about 1770 until his death in 1818. Gonter was apparently the apprentice of Reading, Pennsylvania gunmaker Wolfgang Haga. His work forms the link between the Lancaster and Reading schools of Kentucky rifles.

Condition

Split to stock at butt plate, inlay absent at top of stock behind lock.
