New Hampshire Half-Stock Percussion Target Rifle by DH Hilliard
Description: NSN, .40 Caliber, 33 1/8" heavy octagon barrel with a fine, bright bore that has a small amount of mild freckling within the grooves at the muzzle. This is a handsome rifle, made by well-known underhammer maker David Hall Hilliard of Cornish, NH ca. 1860. The barrel is turned down at the muzzle for a no longer present bullet starter and has an overall mottled gray-brown patina that blends with the original browning towards the "D.H. HILLIARD / CORNISH / NH / CAST STEEL" marked breech. The rifle is outfitted with an embellished, "J. HAPGOOD" marked, back-action lock that has a strong mainspring and catches firmly at both the half and full-cock notches. The single set trigger works as it should. The walnut stock is fastened by two wedges and has an excellent reapplied oil finish with some minor handling marks and small surface blemishes scattered throughout. The stock has a pewter nosecap and is further decorated with numerous ornate German silver inlays, including a simple, but elegant trigger guard, patchbox (containing two spare nipples), and a crescent buttplate. The rifle has a period hooded front sight mated to an original rear aperture sight installed on the wrist, and comes with a brass-tipped ramrod. This is a fine example of a conventional percussion rifle, by a famous maker, and is in very good-fine condition overall. Antique SOLD Antique: Yes |
