CHARLES PRETZSCH Antique HALF STOCK LONG RIFLE with RIDDLE Lock Mid-1800s POSEY COUNTY, INDIANA MADE Long Rifle!
Description: CHARLES PRETZSCH Antique HALF STOCK LONG RIFLE with RIDDLE Lock Mid-1800s POSEY COUNTY, INDIANA MADE Long Rifle! Here we present an antique Charles Pretzsch Half Stock American Long Rifle, made circa 1850 in New Harmony, Indiana. Charles Pretzsch was a gunsmith in the town of New Harmony. This rifle would have made a very nice target or small game rifle. Its bore is a fairly small .32 caliber, with an average length 38-1/4-inch octagon barrel. I’m guessing many a squirrel has been taken by this rifle, but still sturdy enough to fend of attackers at the homeplace. Charles Pretzsch also owned a Hardware shop, along with a drug store, the Lyric Theatorium. In the book “Images of America New Harmony Indiana”, by Weinzapfel, Bigham & Branigin, its stated that a large fire broke out August 17, 1908 in the town. Many local residences and businesses perished, but somehow Pretzsch’s buildings all survived and were left standing. It was only a few years later that Charles passed away, in 1915. The overall condition is good+. The action is strong. The bore is semi-bright. The stock is solid and remains in good shape. “RIDDLE” is engraved on the lock. “CHARLES PRETZSON/N. HARMONY IND” can be read atop the barrel. Here is a superb Indiana rifle to collect and display! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 38-1/4 inches. Caliber: .32 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1485 #20115 SOLD Antique: Yes |
