Percussion Longrifle ca. 1845-50 Benjamin J. Kough This is one of the finest, if not the finest, example of a longrifle made in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania during the late stages of the American longrifle, or Kentucky rifle, tradition, which lasted from about 1770 to 1850. It displays all the major characteristics of a Huntingdon rifle: slim architecture, particularly the shoulder stock, which is small, thin, and has straight lines top and bottom; a deeply engraved brass patch box with a recessed hinge; an absence of either incised or relief carving; a large number of engraved silver inlays; a straight trigger that resembles a small, lathe-turned post; and a heavy barrel.This rifle is outstanding for several reasons. Chief among these is the artistic conception, design, and execution of its silver inlays. The inlays on Huntingdon County rifles are often random in both shape and placement, whereas on this rifle not only are they attractively designed but they are also arranged acros
