CONESTOGA RIFLE WORKS Antique Percussion PENNSYLVANIA Rifle INDIAN TRADE
Desirable HENRY LEMAN RIFLE made in LANCASTER, PA
Description: CONESTOGA RIFLE WORKS Antique Percussion PENNSYLVANIA Rifle INDIAN TRADE Desirable HENRY LEMAN RIFLE made in LANCASTER, PA Here we present an antique Conestoga Rifle Works Half Stock Percussion Rifle, made circa the mid-19th century in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This rifle was manufactured by H. E. Leman's factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with the “CONESTOGA/RIFLEWORKS” marking used on some of their “trade quality” guns. “W M” is marked behind the trigger guard tang and has been attributed to Lt. Col. William Maynadier. Henry Eichholz Leman was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1812, and died there March 12, 1887. His ancestors had lived in Lancaster County for generations but there is no evidence that any of them were gunmakers, making him a first generation gunmaker. Its stout octagonal barrel is in .38 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Leman's business career, 1834 to 1887, covered an important transition period in the evolution of fire-arms, changing from flintlock over to percussion, and then to cartridges. Leman started his career making flintlocks. Soon he changed to the muzzle-loading, percussion-cap rifles which made him famous. And, he long outlived the years when the modern cartridge breech-loading guns came into general battlefield use. The overall condition is fine. Original gray and brown patinas. The hammer is chipped. Some moderate dents and scratches on the stock. A bit of a dark aged patina is on the brass mounts. The trigger adjustment screw is absent, but the rifle fully functions. Dimmed bore maintains serviceable rifling. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 38-1/4 inches. Caliber: .38 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos.
