Item Description: Translate description
Nicholas Shennefelt was a Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania maker who worked in Union Township between 1819 and 1823. The full octagonal barrel has a dovetailed brass front sight with a silver blade and a iron rear sight with rocker panel designs surrounding both. Signed near the breach in script "NS" surrounded by a border. The flat percussion lock plate is engraved with sprigs of engraving and an undecipherable stamp in the center. The brass furniture includes a large four piece patchbox with six piercings and scroll engraving. The rifle has double set triggers. There are a total of twelve silver inlays including an ovoid wrist escutcheon and a large inlaid engraved eagle on the cheek piece. There are also decorative brass inlays on both sides of the barrel tang. The rifle is complete with an old possibly original wooden ramrod. CONDITION: The barrel retains a pleasing even brown patina with some corrosion around the breach and bolster. Lock shows a matching patina with some scattered corrosion. Hammer rests improperly on nipple. Brass retains a mellowing mustard patina and silver retains a pewter patina. One hole on the side plate has been filled with pewter. Stock very good with only a few scattered marks from use and some minor chipping around some of the pins. A very nice Huntingdon rifle.Barrel Length: 39 - 3/4"Caliber/Bore: .44 RifledFFL Status: AntiqueManufacturer: Nicholas ShennefeltModel: Percussion KentuckySerial Number: NSN
