Well I should. Pennsylvania is where immigrant German smiths reimagined the jaeger as the long rifle. Martin Mylins gun workshop still stands about 15 minutes from here.

No. But whoever owns it keeps up with maintenance. Mylin built guns there in the 18th century. Unlike most of his contemporaries he was Swiss, not German.
