Attractive German Silver Accented and Engraved Percussion American Long Rifle

This unsigned rifle is likely from Western Pennsylvania or further west in Ohio and has the well-known "National Road" style patchbox used by an array of gunmakers in this area in the early 19th century. It has seven-groove rifling, a dovetailed brass blade front sight, dovetailed notch rear sight, light foliage patterns on the lock, scroll and floral engraving on the brass furniture including on the wear plate on the bottom of the forend, and numerous German silver accents forming floral designs, patriotic shields, ovals, scroll pattern with wire accents, a star on the cheek piece, and floral patterns. The nicely figured curly maple stock has some incised molding along the forend terminating in scrolls at the ramrod entry pipe and a simple incised line border on the rather shallow cheek piece.

ConditionVery good with a mix of dark brown patina and applied brown on the barrel and lock, moderate pitting concentrated at the breech, and mellow aged patina and mostly crisp engraving on the brass furniture and German silver accents. The restored stock is also very good and has some splices and repairs concentrated along the forend, some loss above the nose of the lock, and mild dings and scratches. Could use some minor adjustments but otherwise mechanically functions.
