"KENTUCKY RIFLE. SN NSN. This pre-Revolutionary rifle has a 51-1/4" oct to rnd bbl and is 69 Cal smooth bore. The bbl is engraved at the breech end and appears to be of European manufacture. The flint lock plate is engraved and also appears to be of European manufacture. The stock is curly maple and is incised carved around the bbl tang and to the rear of the lock and side plate mortice in the traditional Bucks Cty. style. The heavy beveled brass side plate is obviously of the early Bucks Cty. style, as is the short brass nose cap. The broad brass trigger guard is also correct for a pre-Revolutionary style gun. Pre-Revolutionary guns made in America very often used European parts that were available, but the stock, hardware, and carving of this gun are obviously American. This is the second gun the cataloguer has examined by this same maker in major early American collections. PROVENANCE: R.Sadler Collection. CONDITION: The condition of this gun is exceptional for a gun of its age, with the only repair being an almost invisible 1-1/4" spot repair to the rear of the bbl tang. 4-31939 RGG46 (8,000-12,000)"
