U.S. Marine Corps veteran and gunmaker Don King (1930-2018) was a talented and well-respected maker of a wide variety of traditional contemporary muzzle-loaders and was awarded the Contemporary Longrifle Association's Pioneer Award in 2010. This rifle was made in 1975, with the barrel marked "D. King '75" and the lock marked "D.KING".

Very fine overall with must of the original finish, a few patches of very light spotting/oxidation on lock components, and a few scattered light handling marks on the wood. Mechanically excellent.
