This is a wonderfully hand crafted rotating barrel (swivel barrel or rollover barrel) flintlock rifle by L. Day. The rifle is believed to be in a 56 caliber. The piece shows hand worked and etched inlaid brass with two octagon forged over under barrels. The piece is marked "L. DAY" across the receiver and "428". The piece has rich exotic deluxe wood with defined grain strips and a deep coloring. The rifle has two triggers, the first causes the hammer to fall and the other releases the barrels allowing them to rotate. The patch box is constructed of inlaid brass with an etched design and horses head. Both barrels are expertly rifled and in very good condition. The piece is in exceptional condition for its early age. Measures overall 49"L. NO FLL.
