Youth Sized W.C. Schofield Signed Percussion Half-Stock Percussion Rifle with Silver Inlaid Stock

The barrel has a blade front sight, simple folk style engraving, "W.C. Schofield" signature, a notch rear sight, and knurled tang. The lock has an "H" with an arrow through it and some scrollwork (possibly J.B. Hixson). It is equipped with double set triggers. The stock has mostly brass furniture and has some light floral carving, a checkered wrist, and fourteen nickel-silver or silver accents in various shapes including a duck. The length of pull is just 12 3/4 inches. A tag on the rifle lists W.C. Schofield in 1861-1934 in Noble County, Ohio.

ConditionFair. The barrel and stock show signs of period alteration such as a filled hole and filing marks near the breech, multiple pieces used for the under rib, different patterns on the front of the lock, and epoxy in the lock inlet and around the ramrod pipe. The iron has a mix of brown patina, applied brown finish, and moderate pitting. The brass has attractive aged patina. The accents are mostly brighter and appear to be nickel silver, but at least one appears to be silver. The folksy carving and engraving patterns are generally distinct. The stock has crisp checkering, some small flakes and chips, flash wear at the breech, tension crack on the left flat, and some small hairline cracks. Mechanically fine.
