Description:
FINE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN SCHOOL PERCUSSION LONGRIFLE SIGNED 1848 "SP FOR HM". Northwest North Carolina-East Tennessee- Southwest Virginia school of Longrifle makers hallmarks of which were distinctive handmade iron mounts and plain but very graceful walnut stocks. 63” o/a with 45 ½”, .41 caliber deeply rifled barrel signed on the top flat in punch ting “1848 SP FOR HM”. Hand made double set triggers. Iron mounts include an elongated barrel tang extending the on to the top of the comb for 3”. Trigger guard of classic “Tennessee Poor Boy” form with a full y enclosed curl at the tang. Side plate of “cigar” shape and butt plate with long tang and a toe plate. Lightly engraved lock plate signed “JOSEPH GOLCHER”. Full length walnut stock and original hickory ramrod. Exceptionally nice condition and 100% original and complete in every respect. One of the nicest Appalachian Longrifles we have had. We are unable to identify the maker but we know of two makers from the area that bear the “SP” initials but are unable to locate signed rifles by either to compare. Superior signed and dated example with a fine old collection provenance.
