This fantastic piece was handmade by Stan Blashak, and it represents an accurate, 1/4 scale miniature, representation of a silver mounted and carved flintlock American long rifle. The rifle shows very nicely engraved silver mountings throughout and typical floral scroll carving on the curly maple stock The functioning lock has light engraving and the patchbox functions. Includes a hardwood case with a fitted interior for the rifle and the included scale ball mold, powder horn, turnscrew, and pan brush. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with most of the brown finish on the barrel, attractive lightly aged patina on the silver, and very minimal handling evidence overall. The case and accessories are also excellent.
