ENGRAVED Antique E.L. PANCOST Half-Stock .42 Caliber Percussion LONG RIFLE
HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle with G. GOULCHER Lock
Here we present an antique E.L. Pancost Half Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the mid-19th Century. Elisha L. Pancost (1822-1896) was active mainly in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .42 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. This one also has German silver hardware and double set triggers.
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 near fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is clean and reflective with sharp rifling. The top of the barrel has a two holes nearer the breech that appear to have been for a different rear sight. The maker’s name is stamped on the top barrel flat. The stock is in nice shape and solid with just a bit of a nick at the top of the back action lock inletting. A beautiful, well-preserved rifle that is ready to go!
