Antique HENRY DERINGER U.S. Model 1817 Flintlock .54 Caliber “COMMON RIFLE”
“US” Marked 1 of 13,000 Contracted by Henry Deringer
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1817 “Common Rifle” from the Henry Deringer Contract, made in 1843 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Manufactured as part of the U.S. Government Contract, Henry Deringer, of his infamous pocket pistol fame, manufactured around 13,000 contract rifles in multiple variations between 1817 and the early 1840s. The Model 1817 common rifle (also known as the Deringer M1817 rifle) was issued due to the Dept. of Ordnance's order of 1814, produced and used from 1817 to the 1840s on the American frontier. Like the Model 1814, it had a large oval patchbox in the buttstock. Many of these were used during the American Civil War, especially in the early days of the conflict when military weapons were hard to come by.
After producing the Model 1814 common rifle through contractors, the military decided to do the same with the Model 1817. The Harper's Ferry Arsenal produced a pattern weapon, which was then taken to gunsmiths to be copied. The rifle was built by Henry Deringer of Philadelphia (13,000 made), Nathan Starr & Co. of Middleton, Conn. (10,200 made), Simeon North of Middleton, Conn. (7,200 made), R. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (5,000 made), R. & J. D. Johnson of Middleton, Conn. (3,000 made).
The overall condition is very good. Gray patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is dim and patinated with good rifling. The stock is solid. A nice example of a scarce Deringer Model 1817!
