This is a very nice, high quality Lehigh, PA. style rifle. It was made by Michael McHugh and is in unfired condition.    

 This rifle is stocked in a piece of plain maple that is stained to a nice medium brown. The hardware is brass that has been hand polished to a satin finish. The barrel appears to be a Rice oct-round, 44" long in .45 caliber. There is a touch hole liner. The bore is dusty but in excellent condition. The lock is a large Siler style. The steel parts are polished bright as is correct for the period. The patchbox release is a horn button in the toeplate. The raised carving is very well done with high relief. The workmanship overall is excellent. Holds and balances very nicely.

Weight is 7 lbs. 14oz.    Pull is 13¾".
