Description:

Only 2,000 Model 1814 flintlock rifles were manufactured by Henry Deringer's shop in Philadelphia before production transitioned over to the very similar Model 1817 "Common Rifle." These rifles are among the earliest standardized U.S. military rifles and follow the Model 1803. It has a blade front sight on a low stud base, notch rear sight, "H. DERINGER/PHILADA" on top at the breech, "F/P/US" proofs on the left quarter of the breech, half visible "US/H. DERINGER/PHILADA" on the lock, "V/GP" stamped on the left stock flat, and "12" on the inside of the trigger guard.

Rating Definition:

Very good as reconverted to flintlock configuration, with applied brown patina, some patches of light pitting visible underneath the finish, and evidence of filing on the rear half of the lock. Stock is also very good as re-oiled, with defined edges, some scattered scratches and dents, a few chips above the patchbox with a few cracks behind it, and visible stamps. Mechanically fine.
