High Estimate6000
Low Estimate4000
38 caliber, 30" round barrel with graceful raised flats at breech and a bright excellent bore. This rifle is beautifully engraved on lock with scroll, sunbursts and nice border work. The barrel breech and tang show this same lovely engraving and the top flat section of the barrel is engraved in fancy script "J. Medbery Rochester". The three raised ribs on the barrel are on the top and sides, the top flat extends to the end of the forend and has fancy scroll engraving at the termination point, the side flat extends half this distance. The rifle has silver furniture which is all nicely engraved including the triggerguard, buttplate, toeplate, and even the sides of the forend cap are engraved with sunbursts. The triggerguard terminates in a fancy pineapple finial to the front, the toeplate with a very similar motif. In addition to the silver mounts, there are some gold accents as well. The stock flat opposite the lock shows a round gold inlay which is engraved with opposing interlocked triangles with a flower blossom at the center. The wedge escutcheons are also of gold as are a pair of six pointed stars which appear on the left and right cheek rests and a small wrist plate. The lock is affixed by a single screw through the lock and into the breech plug. The hammer is broken with the top half missing, this likely accounting for the superb condition of the rifle. The barrel retains about 90% original brown finish overall with subtle damascus pattern visible its entire length. There are a couple patches of light oxidation and pitting near the muzzle and a little scattered light oxidation staining. The lock, breech and tang show nearly all of their original color case-hardened finish which has mottled slightly over time but has a lovely appearance. The stock is of highly figured American black walnut and is made with both left and right handed cheekpieces each with the previously mentioned gold star inlay. The wrist is finely checkered and the toeline of stock is stamped "A.C. BURSIEL" neatly with a one-piece stamp. The condition of the stock is excellent with 97% original finish remaining and with sharp edges, crisp checkering and perfect fit. The rifle is sighted with a simple stud front, open rear and small folding tang mounted windage adjustable peepsight. The top ramrod thimble is missing however, the lower thimble is present, so a talented gunsmith could fashion an exact replacement quite easily. This rifle is illustrated and discussed in Swinney & Rowe's The New York State Firearms Trade on page 1115, the book states that Bursiel was an "old-time mayor of Rochester" although we have been unable to confirm that. The rifle is outstanding, clearly Medbery put a lot of effort and pride into building it. A top shelf New York made percussion rifle. (1G9670-28) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (4000/6000)
