This very light, petite, Kentucky Rifle is a wonderful example of Early Americana. An original, not a re-conversion, Flintlock Lady's Rifle, about .28 Calibre. Overall length is (50") inches. Barrel is (34 1/2") inches.

 The pictures clearly address the quality, the engraving, and the classic style. The original flint lock was made by "Osborne- Gunby", Birmingham, England, Circa: 1780-1815. This Kentucky Rifle was probably made between 1780- 1810.

 The flintlock hammer represents an earlier pattern, while the lock has a roller frizzon, which would be of a "later- 1800+" improvement in lock design. This fine old Kentucky Rifle has been in a private estate for many years.
