A beautiful rifle with superb barrel and stock work of an earlier period by Kucheneruter ca. 1750-70. Brass mounts and triggerguard are also from the earlier period. Thomas Smith worked at the Parliament St. address from 1835-1839 when the conversion to percussion would have occurred. The percussion lock retains considerable casehardened finish and is mechanically excellent. Very high quality.
