Description:
Antique A.H. SIEGFRIED Half-Stock .36 Cal. Percussion American LONG RIFLE
Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle
Here we present an antique Alexander H. Siegfried Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Siegfried was a gunsmith that worked out of South Bend, Indiana before moving back to his native state of Pennsylvania. He moved to Indiana sometime before 1847 and moved back to Pennsylvania sometime between 1871 and 1884 before passing away in 1886. He married Mary E. Camper in 1847 in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
This example’s stout octagonal barrel is in .36 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. This rifle is one such example.
The overall condition is good. Strong action with honest set triggers. The bore is good for its age. Very good stock with less than average wear and nice smooth finish. “A.H. SIEGFRIEL” is marked a top the barrel.
