Item Description: Translate description
About .62 cal, 26 5/8'' octagon barrel with swamped muzzle and a fair-good bore showing moderate oxidation and light pitting its full-length with otherwise strong rifling. This rifle appears to be in the original flint with the barrel and lock toning mostly to a deep rich plum-brown patina with scattered light to perhaps moderate oxidation, some old light pitting around breech and the sides of the barrel also with some old vise marks. The top flat is neatly engraved ''STREMMEL A HALLE'' and the lockplate is very finely made, slightly banana-shaped with steps and teat at rear, beveled edges, swan neck cock, faceted pan, unbridled frizzen and the frizzen spring with a finely chiseled foliate extension. The lockplate is also maker marked along its forward bevels. The frizzen appears to be bent slightly possibly due to what appears to be an old repair along its neck resulting in one corner rubbing up against the barrel when closed. The brass hardware has toned to a mild ocher patina showing some scattered old tarnish and consists of a faceted nosecap, faceted ramrod thimble and tailpipe, triggerguard with generous finger rest and simple foliate finials, buttplate with foliate finial and an attractive pierced sideplate with large crown in center flanked by what appear to be bear heads and foliate flourishes. The hardwood stock remains in about good condition showing a diagonal break along the forend above the forward thimble and about 8'' behind the thimble. There are some other scattered more minor dings overall and the stock features wide shallow drop points, foliate carving behind upper tang and flourishes flanking the quite shallow left-side cheekpiece. The wooden sliding patchbox cover is a rather rudimentary later replacement and the horn-tipped ramrod appears to be original showing some scattered thin drying cracks. The small set trigger adjustment screw is missing, the sling swivels are present and the rifle is sighted with a generous v-notch rear sight that has a nice little foliate front finial, and brass blade front. There is no half cock, the lock is single-acting and otherwise seems to function normally. Stremmel appears to be somewhat obscure, only listed in Stockel as being active in Halle, Saxony circa 1725. (13C11896-15) {ANTIQUE} (2000/3000)
