Attractive Contemporary Left-Hand Fullstock Flintlock Rifle by Leonard Day
.55 cal, 37 1/2'' octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this nicely made rifle retain about 94% original plum-brown finish showing some scattered high edge wear, a few oxidation speckles along the barrel and areas thinning to gray. The right barrel shank shows ''L.DAY'' maker stamp and ''2.89'' date. The barrel is secured by three wedges and the lock features faceted waterproof pan, step at rear and the frizzen and frizzen spring show pale tempered straw color. The attractive curly maple stock rates very fine retaining most of its original finish with just some sparsely scattered light dings and handling marks. The wood exhibits some wonderful tiger stripe grain figure throughout and the stock features a scant squared-off right-side cheekpiece and is fitted with spartan iron hardware including heavy nosecap, dual ramrod thimbles, tailpipe, triggerguard with curlicue at rear, crescent buttplate with toe plate and pointed teardrop lock screw escutcheon. There are two rear sight dovetails, one blanked and the other with a square notch semi-buckhorn sight and the front is a generous German silver blade. The original ramrod is present and the lock with double set triggers seems to function normally. (13A11723-1) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
