Sign In to see what this sold for

MWF1194 Full Stock American Percussion Rifle of rare origin, clearly marked CHARLESTON (S.C.) on top of the barrel. 42 3/4~ octagonal .54 caliber deeply rifled barrel, 1 1/8~ across the flats, with smooth dark patina and just some light pitting at the breech, with excellent bore. Single screw lock marked T. Golcher, adjustable double set triggers. The triggers work fine but the gun will not stay at full cock. All brass furniture with the exception of the slender decorative trigger guard, which is iron, and appears to be original to the gun. The brass patch box is friction fitted with a spring and a small overlapped projection to facilitate opening. Maple stock. Saddle like cheek piece that ends in a curl at the top, which is decorated with a small circular silver inlay. There is also a silver heart inlaid at the wrist. Original brass nose cap, ramrod ferrules and side plate which is pointed on both ends and held in place with two small screws. Interesting and impressive rifle.
