I am interested in purchasing muzzleloaders “regardless of condition”, artifacts, related to my family for a family exhibit to be publicly displayed at KRA and other 18th century’s shows. You can read my family history at Beck Flintlocks.

Many rifles are locked away in gun cabinets and deserve to be shown together to the public.

Please message me if you have any leads, or email at [email protected].

The following:

J P Beck signed “J P Beck” from Lebanon, Pa

Christian Beck “ Signed C Beck” from Jonestown, Pa

Christian Beck III “signed C Beck”, Roxbury, Pa / Martinsburg VA

Samuel Beck “stamped S Beck”, Indianapolis, Indiana

Christian Beck “stamped C Beck”, Indianapolis, Indiana

Jacob Beck “stamped J Beck”, Indianapolis, Indiana
 
Very inspiring task you have! Best of luck to you.
Well I already located and acquired two rifles and one tool from Christian Becks Workshop.

The beauty about the exhibit is it spans 3 generations and shows the evolution of the Longrifle as it traveled West from the American Revolution to the Oregon Trail. My family’s history provides a great example, and would like to honor their legacy, for all the challenges they overcame.

Good luck in your quest. Please post photos of the items you currently have and acquire in the future.
