Description:
GERMANIC Antique JAEGER RIFLE .62 Caliber Hesse Bavaria Musket
Carved Wooden Trigger Guard & Stock
Here we present an antique Germanic Jaeger Rifle, made circa the early to mid-19th century. What is now recognized as the Jaeger type of rifle goes back to at least the early 17th century. Jaeger rifles are characterized by their usually octagonal barrels and their carven wooden stocks. They are well-made as a rule and very practical. This made it very handy to carry and load for the forester or hunter where it originated in the Hesse and Bavaria regions of Germany.
In fact, the jaeger was very influential in the design of what is now considered the American Kentucky/Pennsylvania Long Rifle. This was due to the jaeger’s use by some of the Hessian mercenaries during the American Revolutionary War, as well as the number of German immigrants that congregated in Pennsylvania in the 18th century. In addition, several countries liked the concept of the short jaeger rifle so much that they designed their military long arms after it.
The overall condition is very good. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. The stock is solid with some use evident.
