plains, period of 1845-'50 and
in Pennsylvania period of 1850-90. No marks. Long brass patch-box.
About .44 Cal. Fairly good condition.

12. SHORT KENTUCKY RIFLE. L. 48-1/2"

Stock has been broken and repaired several times and the whole gun is
crudely made and was evidently the work of an unskilled local
gunsmith. Without doubt, this is an authentic Pennsylvania Mountain
relic. Now a smooth-bore.

13. CUT-DOWN KENTUCKY RIFLE. L. 45"

Barrel has been smooth-bored and stock shortened to half-length. Rear
sight of peculiar and artistic design. This was at one time a very
fine gun, and has several interesting features.

14. U. S. ARMY MUSKET, MODEL OF 1822. L. 57-1/2"

Has been varnished all over and is in good condition, but hammer is
missing.

15. PERCUSSION KENTUCKY RIFLE. L. 52"

Brass mounted, with considerable brass and silver inlay. Good
condition. Maker's name illegible, but "Philadelphia", on lock can be
easily made out. Probably a Tryon.

16. SPRINGFIELD MUSKET. L. 55"

Model of 1861, caliber .58, percussion. Marks on lock, "U. S.
Springfield. 1862." Good condition, with original bayonet. Gift of
General F. D. Beary, The Adjutant General, N. G. P., Harrisburg, Pa.

17. TWO U. S. SPRINGFIELD ARMY RIFLES. L. 52"

Model of 1884. Fitted with ramrod bayonets. In the best of condition,
like new. Gift of Gen'l F. D. Beary.

17A. Another, which has seen considerable service. Formerly the
property of Jacob Bierly, a famous early Pennsylvania hunter.

18. KENTUCKY RIFLE. L. 55"

Stock shortened to half-length and smooth-bored. The maker of this gun
imported his lock from England, as it is stamped "London, Warranted".
Percussion.

19. U. S. MUSKET, 1822 MODEL. L. 53"

Altered to percussion by a rare and rather crude civilian method, and
barrel shortened to the end of the forestock. Evidently used by some
mountaineer soldier and retained at the end of his military service as
a sporting arm. A Kentucky type rear sight has been added and other
changes have been made. _This gun is not reliable as a source of
information on U. S. military arms_, owing to its numerous
alterations.

20. GERMAN-AMERICAN TARGET RIFLE. L. 45"

Beautifully checkered stock, octagon barrel. No ramrod, nor is the gun
provided with fittings for one. In the best of condition. Almost new.
This gun was made for use by a member of some early German "Scheutzen"
rifle club, period of 1855-'75. Mark on lock, "Rein, New York".
