FULL STOCK FLINTLOCK KENTUCKY RIFLE.HENRY DERRINGER PATTERNLONGRIFLENSN40Cal. 40. 62" overall, about 46" full oct rifled bbl with silver plaque inlaid with indiscernible inscription. Fixed rear sight, dovetailed inset, long blade front sight, iron trigger guard with set triggers, 2-pc brass buttplate, rear iron ramrod pipe and hexagonal brass front pipe. Extra long wood ramrod appears vintage with string tied tip which is several inches longer than bbl and protrudes about 2-1/2" past muzzle. Lock is marked "H. DERINGER / PHILADLA". CONDITION: Good, sound and complete overall. Bbl overall is dark brown/grey with pitting, especially at breech. Lock is poorly fit dark grey overall with much more pitting than rest of iron and has wood and resin repair in mortise such that it fits adequately. There are two welded repairs in trigger guard and trigger guard plate. Stock with grease hole has glued crack repairs at wrist and two in forestock, otherwise stock seems complete with minor reductions, hand worn patina. Action is sluggish but still holds at cock. Well defined rifling. 31377-3 JS (2,000-3,000)
