SAN FRANCISCO Retailer Marked HOMESTEAD Longarm

Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique A.J. Plate Retailer Marked Slotter & Company Half Stock Back Action Percussion Rifle made circa the 1860s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Slotter & Company was a Philadelphia manufacturer formed by the Schlotterbeck brothers, former employees of Henry Deringer, and manufactured Deringer style pistols, “plains rifles,” and other firearms in Philadelphia from 1860 until 1871 and was known for supplying guns for the western arms dealers, especially for the California dealers, including famed retailer A.J. Plate in San Franscisco, California between the years of 1860 and 1871. Plate established his business in 1850, and it quickly grew from a sales booth to a large shop by 1855 and became one of the most important western gun dealers.

This example is marked “SLOTTER & Co. PHILA” on the lockplate with the top of the barrel marked “SLOTTER & Co.
