Engraved Mid-1800 Antique S. VOSBURGH Half Stock Percussion HOMESTEAD Rifle
ALABAMA, NEW YORK Made Game Getting Rifle
Here we present an antique S. Vosburgh Marked Half Stock .36 Percussion Rifle made circa the Mid-1800s in Alabama, New York. Selah Vosburgh (1807-1876) of Alabama, New York, was a gunmaker circa 1826 to 1860. His son, John Selah Vosburgh, was one of the founders of Tombstone and serves as the Adjutant General of the Arizona Territory in the 1870s.
This example’s stout octagonal barrel is in .36 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many of the maker’s names of these percussion rifles have been lost over time. This is one such example.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Markings ae legible. A repair has been made at the wrist at some point in time, but with pressure movement is still present. Ramrod is missing. “S. VOSBURGH” marked barrel top. Lightly engraved Golcher lock.
