This is a wonderfully hand crafted Kentucky Long Flintlock rifle from circa 1790 by Theo Muller. Theo Muller was a German gunsmith who immigrated to the US and hand made fine rifles and pistols. The top of the barrel is hand engraved, "Theo, Muller". The rifle has rich grained wood with a deep swirling leaf and floral design and has a heavy forged and rifled octagon barrel. The patch box door is part of the carved stock and exposes the original early tools. The butte plate is also forged iron. Excellently detailed early firearm. The rifle is in rare exceptional condition. This has a set trigger and straight hair trigger. Overall measures 51.75"L.
