Description:
CIVIL WAR Era Antique TRUITT BROTHERS Full-Stock Perc. FRONTIER Long Rifle

Kentucky Style Rifle with “ASHMORE” Marked Lock

Here we present an antique Truitt Brothers & Company Full Stock Percussion American Long Rifle, made circa 1847-62 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .36 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression.

Rifle manufacturing 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. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time. This rifle is one such example.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age with strong rifling. This example sports a gray patina of most metal parts. Legible markings. The stock is solid with less than average handling wear and a few stable wood plug repairs.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 43-1/4 inches.

Caliber: .36 Percussion
