Rare JOSEPH CARPER Inlaid Southern Rifle c. 1850s
Description:
Rare JOSEPH CARPER Inlaid Southern Rifle c. 1850s
Percussion Long Gun with Inset Stock from Virginia
Here we present an antique Joseph Carper Southern Half Stock Long Rifle, made circa the 1850s in Raleigh County, Virginia. Carper was a celebrated gunsmith and the “Carper Gun” was noted for its accuracy and its finish on the stock and he began the gun making business at the age of 22. His gun were among the best and were very difficult to beat. It was common belief that “When better mountain rifles are made, Joseph Carper will make them.” Guns made by Joseph Carper sold for around $25 each and were known to be worth every bit of it. One distinguishing mark of a gun turned out by Joseph Carper was its stock with rich embellishments. Carper and his family remained in Virginia, which was soon made West Virginia. Each of his sons fought in the war on the side of the Confederacy.
This rifle features a “GOULCHER” lock with double set triggers for precision shooting. The top of the barrel is signed “JOSEPH CARPENTER” behind the rear sight. The barrel is fully octagonal with a .41 caliber bore. The stock is elaborately decorated with wire pounded into the wood in specific designs.
The overall condition is good. The iron surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear. This rifle has been restocked and it appears that every effort was made to embellish it as the original was. The stock is smooth and solid with just a thin sliver near the fore end cap on the right side. Ramrod tubes have been soldered. The bore is clean and sharply rifled. The action is excellent, strong and crisp. Here is a mighty fine rifle from 1850s Virginia!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 39-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .41 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
