Item Details
Low Estimate3000
High Estimate5000
serial #15, .64 cal., 38" octagon barrel with a bright excellent, likely unfired bore. The barrel retains all of the original makers plum brown finish with some light silvering along some of the sharp edges and shows a shaped blade iron front sight with a ribbed-base v-notch rear; it has maker monogram "M-M" at the breech. The lock, sideplate and rear tang retain all their original makers color case-hardened finish, the colors quite vibrant in areas, the sideplate showing light border engraving. There is an light ebony nosecap, faceted ramrod thimbles, spear tip faceted tailpipe and a wide bow single spur triggerguard with extended acorn-shaped finials and wide flared sling swivels. There is a very wide buttplate with broad tang and an engraved silver monogram plate atop the wrist. The furniture is of iron and has a finish matching that of the barrel with minor toning and specks of very fine oxidation at the heel of the buttplate. The curly maple stock rates excellent to as-new showing lovely fiddleback figure its full-length. It shows an beautifully carved drop point at the front of the ramrod rib with rolling scroll at the rear of the tailpipe. There is light incise carving along the stock flats and tang. There is a wooden sliding sliding door patchbox with incise carved shell pattern at its rear beneath-which is a threaded brass jag. The left side moulded cheekpiece has relief carved scroll flanking front and rear with a single facet lower moulding and light incise carved comb. Equipped with a single trigger, the arm appears unfired, its only detractors being the cock the does not lock on half-cock and a couple tiny dents along the sharp edge of the left stock flat. An absolutely top-notch early Pennsylvania style flintlock rifle from one of Montana's Flathead Valley rifle makers. Mr. Benenson's notes reference an email from the esteemed Jerry Fisher calling Mr. Mandarino "the best craftsman alive in America today". (5C9284-19) {ANTIQUE} [Mark K. Benenson Collection]
