An American full stock percussion rifle transitioned from Kentucky to Plains rifle, untouched dark patina finish, lock marked warranted, the rest illegible, and faint trace of name on barrel beneath rust, but not readable. The rifle measures 52-1/2" with 37-1/2" barrel of approximately .36 cal. 7 groove rifling. The stock shows artificial striping, and old brass sheet repair to wrist. Dark patina finish with light toheavy scattered erosion and pinprick pitting. The triggers and lock are working; there is some loss of wood at the back area of the breech from firing and use. The brass mounts show a deep patina. We would date the rifle about 1840-1855, and is just the type to have gone west. Est.: $350-$700
