Item Details
Low Estimate2500
High Estimate3500
.75 cal, 35 7/8” heavy octagon barrel with a bright very fine bore showing some scattered small areas of light oxidation and crisp rifling throughout. The barrel of this imposing rifle retains about 92% quality older reapplied rust blue showing some scattered thinning to plum-brown patina, light dings and a few small spots of oxidation. The top barrel flat shows remnants of a faded silver inlay “I.F. Kraus aus Furth”. The lock and upper tang retain about 95% reapplied polished blue, the lock itself maker-marked in silver “V. Kehl Sohne / in Mehlis”. The rifle is equipped with brass hardware throughout including dual thimbles with tailpipe, triggerguard with foliate extension, buttplate with round knob at heel, and sideplate. The bow of the guard is embellished with a nice panoply of arms and the heel extension and sideplate with some nice light foliate motifs. The checkered walnut stock remains in very fine condition showing somewhat worn finish, small crack behind the lockplate and at the lock screw and the expected scattered light dings. The nice diamond point checkering remains mostly intact and strong and the horn nosecap shows a few small flakes. Buttstock features a checkered sliding patchbox cover with carved shell at the tip and a left-side cheekpiece with handsome carved acorn and oakleaf motif. There is a large front sling swivel and rear sling mount and the rifle is sighted with a wide aperture disc tang sight, the disc retaining some nice case-hardened colors, flattop v-notch rear with flip-up leaf and target globe front sight with small bead on post. The barrel wedges are a little bit loose and the hickory ramrod shows a repaired break. The action features double set triggers and single-acting lock, the front firing trigger being a very thin post and it seems to function normally. There is no Kraus listed in Stockel from Furth and a V. Kehl from Mehlis is listed though information on him is scant. Overall length is about 51” and weight is just over 18 1/2 pounds.
