Samuel Gobrecht was listed as a gunsmith in York County tax records in 1807. This rifle is similar to others by him, particularly the patch box design. It has blade and notch sights, a partially visible "S. GOBRECHT" signature on top at the breech, incised molding lines terminating in scrolls on the forend, light engraving on the brass furniture, an unmarked lock, incised lines at the front of the butt, and a rather ornate single trigger.
