Rare Percussion
target file in 44 Cal.
This is a percussion
target rifle in 44 cal. - Circa 1860 made by "L. Devendorf"
"Cedarville" Pennsylvania. Devendorf was a known maker of fine target
rifles used in organized long range competition during the late 1800's
This rifle was built on a "Remington Cast Steel" barrel which measures
34
inches and is probably one of the earliest know examples of Remington's
target barrel work. The overall condition of the rifle is fair as it shows
its age from honest wear and tare from many a thousand yard competitions
gone by. The rifle comes in at a whopping eleven pounds and the
barrel is still clean and shows good rifleing with nice even dark brown
patina throughout!
