Beautiful incised-carved longrifle, signed in flowing script, J. Ford. Ford(1780-1862) was a gunsmith and silversmith in Adams and York Counties. His father was a soldier in the Rev. War. In addition to being an excellant gunsmith, he was appointed as the state armorer and Superintendent of the state armory in Pa. in 1817. Ford is listed in Gunsmiths of York Co. by James Whisker, pg 11, along with a picture of another of his rifles. The engraving on this beautiful, fancy, patch box is excellent. A nice, early, original flintlock, by a known maker.

As cute as they come, this unmarked, pocket-size Kentucky pistol is in percussion. I believe it to be "Southern - Made". It fits your hand like a glove. The smooth bore barrel has a hand-filed wedding band at the oct. to round juncture. Stock appears to be a fruit wood, with simple checkering. Barrel is 3 1/2" lg. Bore is just under .50 cal.

This large bowie has a cown stag handle 5 1/4" long. The blade is 13 7/8" and is made from a short sword. The guard is iron and is substantial. It is of the type used on confederate pieces.

Unusual, and very desirable bowie knife.

A great condition spear point dagger or bowie. This is a very interesting knife with a turned handle, possibly of maple. This does not appear to be a tool handle, but turned for the purpose of a handle. The Blade has a median ridge and is 7 13/16" long with a tang peened over a small brass washer. The scabbard is leather and appears to be tarred with a small piece of period newspaper used in the process. A fine and well made piece.
