Description:
With about .42 cal.,and a  25 1/2” octagon barrel turned for starter (none present) with an oxidized bore. The barrel and heavy iron frame are a dull pewter patina with scattered light oxidation and tool marks, especially in the area of the breech. There is an older German silver globe front sight present tang holes for a no-longer-present aperture sight. Top flat is marked “JB Knight/Cabot”. The simple single spur triggerguard is German silver as are the crescent butt and toeplates and simple pendulum style patchbox. The stock appears to be of English walnut with tight grain and a left side cheekrest. It rates perhaps good plus to very good with a 5” crack emanating from the rear of the frame just above the cheekpiece and a prominent check missing in the same area. The lock functions mechanically however the spring is light, the buttstock is loose and the front ramrod thimble has come unsoldered; a replacement ramrod is included. It would appear Knight was active in 1871-79
When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
