Description:
18th Century AUSTRIAN Antique FRANZ SCHASCHL Jaeger FLINTLOCK Rifle .52 Cal
Made in FERLACH, AUSTRIA w/ Sliding Patchbox
Here we present an antique Franz Xaver Schaschl Jaeger Flintlock Rifle, made circa the mid to late 18th century in Ferlach, Austria. Ferlach is in the district of Klagenfurt-Land in Carinthia and is the southernmost town in Austria. It has been known for its centuries for its old gunsmith tradition. Schaschl was born in 1722 and lived for 96 years, dying in 1818. 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 in the mountainous areas in southern Austria, or 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. Original flintlock. The action is excellent. The bore is in very nice condition, reflective with deep, sharp rifling. The stock shows use and there are two small, stable chips near the tail of the lock. Otherwise solid.
