This fine Pennsylvania-Kentucky swivel breech percussion double rifle has several top quality features. The overall length is approx. 49.5". The 34" octagon 38 caliber barrels have fine rifled bores. Each barrel has a blade front and fixed rear sight. The barrels have a smooth even brown patina. They are unmarked. There is a brass-tipped wood ramrod with three brass thimbles on one side and a brass rib on the other. The bolster plates have a decorative rear edge. The back action lock and hammer have light engraving. The barrels are swiveled by depressing the lever on the side plate. The swivel action is tight. The figured stock has no cracks or chips and is nicely curved. The brass patch box features nine cut-outs and border decoration. The latch works properly. The brass butt plate has three flats on the top tang. The top of the comb features a brass protector fastened by six small screws. The toe of the stock from the rear of the brass trigger guard to the butt plate has an inlaid wear strip with five nicely done cut-outs. The cheek piece has a tarnished silver approx. 1.25" by 2" oval with a four-pointed star. Below the cheekpiece is a brass tube for the storage of a nipple pick. There is a blank German silver escutcheon on the wrist. The action functions correctly. This fine Pennsylvania-Kentucky percussion swivel breech double rifle has many of the features that one expects to see on a fine Kentucky rifle, especially the top notch patch box.
