Description:

John Baird (author of the Hawken rifle the mountain Mans Choice) & T.K. Dawson authenticated and attributed to Samuel Hawken full stock rifle. 45 cal. 55 1/4" over all length. Full octagon heavy barrel. Front and rear sights as pictured Original brass single trigger. Brass trigger guard, butt plate, patch box, and brass forend cap. one replacement ferule. This early unmarked, Samuel Hawken identified and authenticated rifle was originally built as a flintlock. John Baird in his study of this particular rifle states that it may be a Hawken factory conversion to percussion. Condition is as used, it is complete, it has been modified to a percussion as stated. the hammer spring is on the weak side. the brass items as listed are original with one exception. The John Baird study is included with the purchase of the rifle. I have received a couple of comments that it is either a New York gunsmith rifle or a New England rifle. The Baird study of this particular rifle is included, it also states that it may have been produced in Ohio prior to the move to Mo. If you purchase the rifle and are unsatisfied with the included documentation furnished will refund your money including shipping provided the gun is in as shipped condition.
