This particular rifle has a .54 caliber 36" long swamped barrel, large early
Ketland lock and brass mounts.
The patchbox and carving are accented with silver wire inlays. The wrist inlay
of silver is engraved with the
owner's family crest. The stock is curly maple. Maple was quite
often exported to Europe and
was used on many English guns during the 18th century. |
