Description:
Just recently acquired, we have a signed John Moll Jr. Kentucky Rifle from the collection of noted Moll Rifle collector and Moll family historian Richard Wade. Mr. Wade wrote the forward to Moll Rifles in the new reprint of Joe Kindings' "Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age" book. This large caliber (.54 or .56) smoothbore 43-inch octagon barrel flintlock rifle was made in the Moll's Allentown, PA shop in the early 1820s. The metal on this rifle has a smooth even aged patina and the stock has a pleasing reddish/brown finish with a few small repairs. The original lockplate has been professionally reconverted to flint utilizing original period parts. The rifle is 57 1/2 inches in length and exhibits the classic Moll patchbox and furniture. This style of long rifle was popular here in Kentucky and was used both in the fur trade and self-defense in the western expansion from the Appalachian Mountains. This style of Kentucky rifle is so well known that it is the pattern of so many reproductions that are still made to this day. Perhaps it belongs in your collection. PRICE: $4,500.00
