Description:
Antique E.L. PANCOST .42 Percussion LONG RIFLE Double SET TRIGGERS ENGRAVED

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

Here we present an antique E.L. Pancost Full-Stock Percussion Long Rifle, made circa the early 1860s. Elisha L. Pancost (1822-1896) was active mainly in Elizabeth Township in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania and specialized in full-stock percussion long rifles. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .42 caliber, large enough to take small to medium 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. 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 very good. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent. Double set triggers are crisp. The bore is in great shape, reflective with sharp rifling. The stock has nice grain; there is a short, stable split on the left side at the lock screw head, otherwise solid. German silver hardware and brass. Engraved G. Goulcher back action lock. Maker marks on the barrel. It was at some point equipped with a replacement front sight as well as a peep sight mounted behind the barrel tang.

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

Barrel is 40 inches.
