There was no year on the rifle, but the work says it is an early build. 7/8" straight .50cal. with a Deluxe Siler lock. Minimal wear on the rifle. The bore is clean. The barrel has cut rifling so it isn't a Douglas. Built by George Kieffer.
A nice old school rifle came yesterday.

What a beauty.
around what year would it have been?
Nice rifle!
I don't know. To me some of the work just says it is an earlier rifle. Someone familiar with Mr. Kieffer's work can correct me if I am wrong.
Mr. Kiefer did some work on a pistol barrel for me about 10 years ago.
Beautiful rifle.
