LATE-1700s-Early-1800s Antique Germanic JAEGER FLINTLOCK Rifle .56 Caliber Full Length Stock with Sliding Wooden Patch Box!
Description: LATE-1700s-Early-1800s Antique Germanic JAEGER FLINTLOCK Rifle .56 Caliber Full Length Stock with Sliding Wooden Patch Box! Here we present an antique Germanic Jaeger Flintlock Rifle, made circa the late 18th to early 19th century. 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 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. This example was likely made in the 18th century, whether in Prussia or colonial America is unknown. It utilizes a flintlock firing mechanism. It has a short, stout, 28-3/4 inch octagonal barrel with a large bore of .56 caliber. The wood stock has beautiful grain and is nicely checkered. The left side of the butt stock has a large, smooth cheek rest, and the right side has a sliding wooden patchbox. The overall condition is fine. The action is as strong as ever! The bore is bright with sharp rifling! Here is an exquisite example of the iconic Germanic hunting arm! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 28-3/4 inches. Caliber: .56 Percussion 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 $3450 #190798 SOLD Antique: Yes |
