Hi Friends,
I have an aquaintance that brought me a rifle to try and help him evaluate as he may need to sell it for his widowed mother.
It is a fine looking ifle that might even have been a flintlock originally, but I think is a later GOLDEN AGE type rifle. Very nice wood, lots of inletting, carving. And in pretty good condition.
I have some photos and would post on here but just cannot figure out how to use this site to do so.
There is makers initials on the top barrel flat and lock plate. But the are fancy script and hard to read just what they are. Maybe "C P" Maybe "C S"??
I will either send you some photos direct or would love to figure out how to add on here if someone can tell me??
Thanks, this might be a real find. His grandfather has had these rifle since before he can remember.
Adios
