Lot Description
.40 caliber. 41.5" pinned octagonal barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass furniture, spliced full-length faux striped maple stock with raised cheek rest. Single screw commercial percussion lock is marked "H. ELWELL/WARRANTED". Lock with double set triggers. Barrel with drum bolster is marked "H.E. LEMAN" in an arc, along with "LANCASTER" and "WARRANTED". Barrel decorated with intertwined punched lines, as well as punched tear drops and dots. Brass furniture includes a traditional Lancaster-style four-piece patchbox that is lightly engraved with an engraved toe plate that doubles as a release. The engraved saddle plate is cut due to the forend splice. Other furniture includes a crescent buttplate, finger extension triggerguard, forend reinforcement strip, corrugated thimbles and an entry pipe that is attached to the saddle plate. Dovetailed notch rear sight and dovetailed brass blade front sight. As noted, forend is a spliced replacement that is old and shows wear and use but does not appear to be original to the rifle.
