Full Stock Kentucky Percussion Rifle with Riddle Marked Lock Plate

This is an example of an early to mid 19th century American made full stock percussion rifle. Blade front and notch rear sights, with "RIDDLE" in a banner on the lock plate. Additional scroll decoration is present on the lock plate, with a drum style conversion, altered hammer, and screw adjustable double set triggers. Full length stock, with a brass tip, plain hardwood ramrod with brass fittings, silver reverse plate, a silver finished brass floral plate on the raised cheekpiece, and a brass buttplate.

ConditionFine, with a strong brown finish on the barrel, a mixed gray and brown patina on the lock plate, with a deep scratch on the upper left barrel flap, mild dents and some pitting. Stock is fair, with a crack opposite the lock, chipping at the lock, and mild pressure dents. Trigger assembly is slightly loose, otherwise mechanically very good.
