John Brown (1797-1885) and his son Andrew (1838-1907) were noted gunsmiths from Fremont, New Hampshire. The shop served as a recruiting officer for Union sharpshooters during the Civil War.

Very fine with original finish and fairly minor overall wear from age and storage, including some light oxidation and minor scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.

Christian Siebert (1822-1886) was a gunmaker in Columbus, Ohio. His brother Charles was also a gunmaker and worked in his shop before later establishing his own in Circleville.

Good as refinished with added stock inlays, and general mild overall wear, including pitting around the breech area, aged patina on the furniture and inlays, and minor chips on the stock. Mechanically fine.
