Lot Description

Native Decorated Percussion Trade Rifle by Leman

.54 caliber. 32" pinned octagon barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass furniture, full-length hardwood stock. Lightly engraved percussion lock marked "LEMAN/LANCTR PA". Top flat of barrel marked "H.E. LEMAN/LANCASTER, PA" and "WARRANTED". Barrel is decorated with Native American themed decorations lightly cut into the metal in almost the style of tattoo art. The images are very light, but the accompanying paperwork has a card with the decorative images transcribed and they show arrows, lances, swirling lines and what appear to be fringed pipe bags. The rifle is further decorated with brass tacks around the edge of the butt. Rifle with simple brass furniture including butt and toe plates, plain round brass patchbox, nose cap and three plain thimbles with a plain wood ramrod. Barrel with dovetailed notch rear sight and dovetailed brass blade front sight. Stock with raised cheek rest.
