GERMANIC Antique JAEGER Rifle RELIEF CARVED Full Stock Engraved .60 Caliber LATE 1700s Rifle with BRASS FURNITURE
Description: GERMANIC Antique JAEGER Rifle RELIEF CARVED Full Stock Engraved .60 Caliber LATE 1700s Rifle with BRASS FURNITURE Here we present an antique Germanic Full-Stock Jaeger Rifle with a Relief Carved Stock. This example was likely manufactured as a flintlock in the late 18th century and updated to percussion sometime after the more reliable percussion firing system was introduced. What is now recognized as the Jaeger type of rifle goes back to at least the early 17th century. It is characterized by its short overall length, robust octagonal barrel and usually a substantial butt stock with raised cheek pieces. This made it very handy to carry and load for the forester or hunter where it originated in the Hesse and Bavaria regions of Germany. In fact, the jaeger was very influential in the design of what is now considered the American (Kentucky/Pennsylvania) Long Rifle. This was due to the jaeger’s use by some of the Hessian mercenaries during the American Revolutionary War, as well as the number of German immigrants that congregated in Pennsylvania in the 18th century. In addition, several countries liked the concept of the short jaeger rifle so much that they designed their military long arms after it. The overall condition is very good. Original patina. The action is excellent. The rear trigger is for setting the mechanism, the front trigger that fires that gun is still functional but much of its lower shaft has broken. The bore is dim with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid. There is an old grafted repair at the rear ramrod tube. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 27 inches. Caliber: .60 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 $1850 #244402 SOLD Antique: Yes |
