Lot 223:
Small Percussion Rifle - Child's or Woman's Size
A compact percussion rifle, likely made for a child or woman, featuring a slender walnut stock and short barrel. The buttstock is decorated with brass studs arranged in a cross pattern, a design often associated with Native American customization. The firearm retains its original percussion lock mechanism and iron fittings, with a simple front sight and two barrel bands securing the forearm. A fine example of frontier craftsmanship and adaptation for smaller users.
Condition: barrel shows patina and oxidation consistent with age; wood exhibits wear and minor surface marks; brass stud decorations intact; percussion lock functional but untested
