Engraved A.S. Bisbing Percussion Swivel Breech Double Rifle

The Kentucky Rifle Foundation notes: "Amos S. Bisbing was taxed in Tannersville, Monroe Co., PA. in 1861. Well made double rifles are extant that bear his name." That is certainly the case here. Both barrels have "A.S. BISBING/MAKER" on their top flats along with nickel-silver front sights, notch rear sights, "J. WORL" barrel maker marks, "1" and "2", and scroll engraving. A ramrod is fitted on one side and the brass fittings have scroll and floral engraving as do the back action lock, German silver patchbox, and brass furniture. The cheekpiece has German silver star pattern engraving, and the stock has lovely figure.

ConditionVery good with mix of fading original finish and gray and brown patina, distinct engraving, some mild marks and scratches, and generally fairly light wear overall mainly related to age and storage rather than use. The stock is fine and has attractive figure, some minor scratches and dings, a small hairline crack in the butt, and light edge wear. Mechanically fine.
