Description
KENTUCKY-STYLE NEW YORK RIFLE
Muzzle-loading rifle, 35" barrel, 50" overall, approx. .55 caliber, converted from flintlock to percussion. The top of the barrel at the breech end is marked "S.W. HILL, JOHNSTOWN [NY]", while the lockplate bears the partially-obliterated inscription "[...]SHOP [...] ANTED" The lockplate is further decorated with a floral engraving, with a leaf-like pattern engraved on the hand-forged hammer. Hand-forged iron sights have been affixed to the top of the heavy, octagonal barrel. The buttplate and trigger guard are brass, as it the cap at the muzzle end of the stock. The hammer cocks and fires smartly, and a wooden ramrod, possibly replacement, is affixed beneath the barrel. An approx. 3" sliver of wood is missing from the muzzle end of the stock, and a repaired crack is present at the wrist immediately behind the lockplate, with expected age wear, else very good.
