Handmade by Robin Armstrong, this is an outstanding 1/3 scale reproduction of the iconic U.S. Model 1803 flintlock rifle. The lock is dated "1814" and has the Harpers Ferry and American eagle/shield markings. The lock and patchbox are functional, and the ramrod is properly threaded on the opposite end of the swell. Includes a leatherette wrapped case with Robin Armstrong marked interior. Included consignor document notes that less than four of these "000 Harpers Ferrys" were produced. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the metals almost entirely bright and very minimal handling evidence.
