Description:
Light Engraved EUROPEAN Antique Full Stock JAEGER Rifle RELIEF CARVED STOCK
Early to Mid-1800s PERCUSSION Rifle w/GERMAN SILVER
Here we present an antique Engraved European Full-Stock Jaeger Rifle with a Relief Carved Stock. This example was likely manufactured circa the 1830s to the 1840s possibly in Germany.
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 good. Strong action. Bright, vibrant bore with commendable rifling. The carved stock is in very good condition, exhibiting reasonable wear and handling. Beautifully engraved lock. Silky smooth dark brown patina. Intricate silver inlays adorning the barrel top. Checkering shows noticeable wear.
