Original U.S. Pennsylvania Full Stock Percussion Rifle with Set Trigger by Henry E. Leman of Lancaster Penn.
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Here is a very nice octagonal barreled Rifled "Kentucky" style rifle, which more correctly is known as a Pennsylvania Rifle. It is marked on the percussion lock plate with maker mark LEMAN / LANCTR.PA, amidst some simple floral engravings. The heavy Rifled .39 caliber octagonal barrel is 32" long and the rifle measures 47 1/2" in overall length. The stock is full stocked, something we do not see often with this type of rifle, and it is all brass mounted.
HENRY E LEMAN worked in Lancaster from 1812 until 1887, but we feel this rifle started life as a Percussion weapon, and not a conversion from Flintlock. Interestingly the rifle has been, since new, fitted with a "set trigger" depressing the rear trigger first until it clicks and just lightly touching the front trigger discharges the weapon, hopefully with great accuracy. The stock is very nice, with no cracks that we can see, and has a good amount of lovely "tiger stripe" figuring, found in the abundant maple in the area. There is a nice cheek piece carved into the left butt stock. It still retains its original wooden ramrod.
A most attractive attractive Pennsylvania Long Rifle, ready to display!
