ENGRAVED Antique W.L. HUDSON CINCINNATI .58 Percussion LARGE CALIBER Rifle
ANTEBELLUM Rifle by WELSH GUNMAKER
Here we present an antique W.L. Hudson Long Rifle made circa the mid-1800s in Cincinnati, Ohio. William L. Hudson Sr. (1812-1861) was a Welsh immigrant who came to the United States in 1837, became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. in 1848, and worked in Cincinnati, Ohio as a gunmaker and gunsmith in the antebellum era and beginning of the Civil War. This rifle has an octagon barrel with a short turned down section at the muzzle for use with a starter, which is not included. The rifle is fired using adjustable double set, single phase triggers. It has a spurred iron trigger guard and a nicely figured walnut buttstock.
This example’s stout part octagonal barrel is in .58 caliber, large enough to take medium to large 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.
The overall condition is good. Patina throughout. The action is functional. Replacement hammer. The bore is sharply rifled and in great shape. The stock has been repaired at the wrist and does have some movement. There is a threaded aperture in the barrel tang where a peep sight once was.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 33 inches.
Caliber: .58 Percussion
