9. U. S. ARMY MUSKET, 1822 MODEL. L. 57-1/2"
Altered to percussion by Government system of screwing on new breech. Mexican and Civil War service possible. Good order.
10. DOUBLE OVER-AND-UNDER PERCUSSION RIFLE. L. 47-1/2"
Rigid barrels and two locks. No marks. Ramrod and trigger-guard missing. Small round patch-box, and German silver figure of spread eagle inset in cheek piece.
11. SHORT PERCUSSION RIFLE. L. 49"
This rifle is of the type used on the 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.
