19RH-79 PERC. AMERICAN 1/2 STOCK
American style percussion Schutzen rifle with false muzzle, set triggers, tang and target front sight, Swiss butt plate and target style stock with heavy octagon barrel. This rifle is unsigned but has an American lookabout it. Measures 49 ½” overall with a 30 ½” barrel of approximately .40 caliber rifled. Pewter fore end cap and escutcheons. Measures approximately 1 ¼” across the muzzle and weighs about 15lbs. The lock and triggerswork very well. The rifle retains nearly al the original brown on the barrel and 50% plus case colors on the lock. The wood is very good with crisp checkering and shows only minor use and normal aging. Found in Northern California by an early collector. Interesting to note there was a “Schutzen” club in San Francisco in Mid-late 19th century. (Antique) Est.: $1250-$2500
