Item Description: Translate description
About .50 cal, 40'' octagon barrel with a mostly bright very good bore showing some scattered light pitting and oxidation with strong rifling throughout. This rifle has been reconverted to flint and is equipped with a period commercial Tryon lock. The barrel is a mix of plum-brown and gray patina showing some scattered oxidation and some erosion and slightly uneven surfaces around the touch hole. The top flat shows an inlaid brass rectangular section with maker's name ''N. DELANY.'' The rifle fittings are quite nice, the barrel secured by three keys through German silver escutcheons, the rearmost a bit more fancy, along with a decorative German silver inlay on left side of buttstock. The remaining hardware is brass, mostly toned to a pleasant ocher patina and consisting of a heavy nosecap, two ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, rather generous overall triggerguard with flourish at rear, crescent buttplate with toeplate, attractive pierced patchbox and decorative lock screw escutcheons. Some of the fitting shows light zigzag and simple geometric bordering that is rather endearing. The stock appears to be maple with an old red russet finish and rates very good plus showing a few scattered drying cracks, light dings and some powder post beetle holes along the sides of the wrist. The stock otherwise maintains a nice appearance overall with slightly softened checkering and shallow left-side shadowline cheekpiece. A simple hickory ramrod is present and the rifle is sighted with a fine v-notch leaf rear sight and brass blade front. The lock pushes off and will require some mechanical attention. A nice classic Pennsylvania rifle. (13C12039-20) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
