Description:
GORGEOUS 18th Century GERMANIC Antique JAEGER FLINTLOCK Rifle .69 caliber
Carved Stock, Sliding Patchbox, Double Set Triggers
Here we present an antique Germanic Jaeger Flintlock Rifle, made circa the mid-18th to early 19th century. 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 and a patch box. 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.
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. The action is excellent. The set trigger must be engaged. The bore is dark with good with strong rifling. The stock shows use. There is a stable split on the left side near the fore end cap. Gorgeous carvings on the stock and Germanic sliding patchbox.
