Desirable Engraved and Inlaid A. Angstadt "Kentucky" Percussion Swivel Breech Combination Gun

This combination gun from Abraham Angstadt (1784-1868) or Adam Angstadt (1821-1888) of Berks County, Pennsylvania, has "A ANGSTADT" signed on each barrel behind the notch rear sights, and each barrel also has a German silver blade front sight. One barrel is rifled, and the other is smoothbore; both are approximately .36 caliber. Pulling back on the front of the trigger guard allows the barrels to rotate. The back action lock is scroll engraved. The buttplate is brass. The patchbox and inlays are German silver and include fish on the sides of the wrist that coordinate with the engraving on the brass forend panels, a starburst pattern inlay on the cheekpiece, and an eagle and shield motif on the left. Provenance: Norm Flayderman, Inc.; Property of a Gentleman

ConditionVery good with dark brown patina on the barrels and lock, light aged patina on the inlays, darker aged patina on the brass, an absent screw, some of the German silver coming loose, and general mild wear including some pitting and file marks on the right side at the breech. The hammer and both bolster and percussion nipples are repaired/refinished/battered. The stock is also very good and has attractive figure, some mild scrapes and dings, and small chips. Mechanically fine.
