HENRY LEMAN Antique FULL-STOCK Percussion .38 Cal. PENNSYLVANIA Long Rifle
Possible INDIAN TRADE Rifle made in LANCASTER, PA
Here we present an antique Henry Leman Full Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Henry Eichholz Leman was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1812, and died there March 12, 1887. His ancestors had lived in Lancaster County for generations but there is no evidence that any of them were gunmakers, making him a first generation gunmaker. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .38 caliber, large enough to take medium to large sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression.
Henry E. Leman's business career, 1834 to 1887, covered an important transition period in the evolution of fire-arms, changing from flintlock over to percussion, and then to cartridges. Leman started his career making flintlocks. Soon he changed to the muzzle-loading, percussion-cap rifles which made him famous. And, he long outlived the years when the modern cartridge breech-loading guns came into general battlefield use.
The overall condition is good. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock, although this example does contain a stable wrist crack repair. No functioning action. Markings atop the barrel appear to read “LANCASTER PA” and “WARRANTED”, but are worn.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .38 Percussion
