This rifle is signed "J Jennison" just ahead of the notch rear sight and has line and floral engraving on the side plates, patch box, and toe plate. The patch box is very similar to the James Jennison attributed rifle from the early 19th century pictured in "The History and Art of the American Gun: The Art of American Arms" by R. L. Wilson and is also similar to other known central Massachusetts rifles. The stock has checkering at the wrist and a simple cheekpiece.

Good as reconverted to flintlock. The barrel has dark brown patina, dings, marks, light pitting, and a reworked vent. The lock has gray and brown patina and some small modern parts. It is mechanically fine, but currently functions poorly due to its loose fit caused by the absent forward lock plate retention screw. The stock is fair and has multiple repaired cracks and wood splices that are visible on close inspection.
