FULTON, MISSOURI LONG RIFLE by SWISS IMMIGRANT RUDOLPH ITH c1840s Antique
Half-Stock with Double Set Triggers .40 Caliber
Here we present an antique Rudolph Ith Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Fulton, Missouri. Alexander Rudolph Ith was born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in February of 1824. He migrated to the central United States and became a gunmaker in Fulton, Missouri before passing away in May of 1896.
This rifle’s stout octagonal barrel is in .40 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock. The left side of the stock has a brass side plate which is a period repair. “R. ITH” is signed a top the barrel. A great piece of American history!
