Description:
This is a real pretty antique A.S. Bisbing Percussion Swivel Breech Double Rifle. The Kentucky Rifle Foundation notes: "Amos S. Bisbing was taxed in Tannersville, Monroe Co., PA. in 1861. Well made double rifles are extant that bear his name." That is certainly the case here. Both barrels have "A.S. BISBING/MAKER" on their top flats along with nickel-silver front sights, notch rear sights. A ramrod is fitted on one side. Brass patchbox and furniture. The cheekpiece has brass inlays of a resting stag and hunting dog. The Tiger Maple stock has lovely figure. German Silver escutcheons on forestock. Externally the rifle is in Good Plus antique condition. Some spots on barrels easily come off with oil and steel wool. Barrels have a consistent brown finish. The bores are another thing. Both the .40 rifled barrel and the .50ish smooth bore need rerifled/rebored. The wrist has a solidly repaired crack. Brass pins are visible. Even with these issues, this is a fine rifle by a well-known builder that is worth restoration or as an addition to a collection. $1200 + Shipping.
