ENGRAVED Antique SAMUEL MIER Half-Stock .36 Long Rifle SILVER
Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle
Here we present an antique Engraved Silver Accented Samuel Mier Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, with a Josh Golcher lock. Samuel Mier was an active gunmaker in Somerset County circa the 1850s-1860s. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .32 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. The action is functional. The hammer and bolster were replaced at some point. There is a dark patina throughout. The bore has about an inch of heavier pitting at the muzzle and then has good, strong, even sharp rifling after that. The maple stock has a classic striped grain; it has many small repairs, especially in the fore stock and remains stable and solid all around. This one has a large and attractive engraved brass patchbox, the latch is worn. This one is signed “S. Mier” on the top barrel flat.
