  • Description:

    Italian built percussion Kentucky style of rifle.  This example is very well built and shows a 34 1/2" barrel in 45 caliber.  The overall length is 50".  The rifled bore appears to be in very good condition.  All fittings are brass including a one piece cap box and butt plate unit.  The grained stock shows 11 attractive brass inlays some with fine engraving.  The rifle is fitted with a set trigger which must be engaged to fire the rifle.  The rammer appears to be custom built for the rifle. Note: there is a small grain crack on the left side ahead of the brass spacer that has been secured. We don't know the name of the maker, however all parts appear to be of Italian origin.  (Non Restricted Status)
