GUN SPRING 2018
The live portion of this session begins on Wednesday, March 21, 2018.
RARE 1819 DATED 2ND MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY RIFLE WITH BRASS PATCHBOX.VA MFG2ND MODEL RIFLENSN48Cal. 48. 39" full oct bbl. Virginia Manufactory rifles are all quite rare, even though 1819 dated examples are among the most common, there were still only 197 produced that year. However, finding these guns in any configuration is quite difficult. This gun appears to be a well disguised re-conversion, but was not disassembled. PROVENANCE: The collection of Robert Roughton. CONDITION: Good to very good. Gun appears all orig, though old lock components probably utilized in re-conversion. Metal has been cleaned showing old pitting overall, now a mottled grey/brown. Brass mounts have a medium mustard patina. The stock has been refinished with several crack repairs. Mechanically sound with clear rifled bore. But all in all, a good representative example of a rarely seen Virginia rifle. 53079-7 JS (3,500-4,500)
