Antique GUILSON LONG RIFLE BRASS PATCHBOX Double Set Trigger Striped Maple Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle
Description: Antique GUILSON LONG RIFLE BRASS PATCHBOX Double Set Trigger Striped Maple Kentucky Style HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Long Rifle Here we present an antique Long Rifle Signed by J.G. Guilson, made circa the mid-19th Century. Its octagonal barrel is in .38 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 good. Strong action. The bore is in very good shape for its age. The striped maple stock is solid throughout with less than expected wear. Markings are legible. This example has maintained an original dark brown patina. The barrel is signed and appears to read “J G Guilson”. A handsome piece! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 38 inches. Caliber: .38 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #233534 Price: $1,800.00 Buy Now Antique: Yes Contact Seller |
