It is complete and in nearly original condition, which is rare for an American longrifle of this period. Although the rifle is unsigned, the architecture of its stock, particularly the low comb and straight lines of the buttstock, and the form of the brass mountings suggest it comes from York County, a region that was home to many talented gunsmiths. Among the most prominent of these was George Schreyer Sr. (1739-1819), whose style influenced a generation of gunmakers in York and neighboring parts of Maryland and Virginia. This rifle displays Schreyers signature motif, a fleur-de-lis carved on the top of the stock at the base of the barrel and on the underside behind the rear ramrod pipe, which appears on all of his signed works. One of the most noteworthy features of this rifle is the very unusual, lively, and skillfully rendered carving on the cheek sPair of Flintlock Pistols ca. 1760-70 Johann Andreas Kuchenreuter German Several generations of the Kuchenreuter family were highly successful gunsmiths whose patrons included the King of Bohemia, Napoleon, and the Tsar of Russia.

Since pistols of this type could deliver only one shot and had to be reloaded to fire the next round, they were commonly made in pairs to be worn in leather holsters. The large ball-shaped pommel on the grip made it easier to withdraw the pistol from its holster, and also served as a counterweight to a heavy steel barrel. Additionally, the pommel became a useful weapon when the firing mechanism failed or when close quarters required its use.Colt Paterson Percussion Revolver, No. 5, Holster Model, serial no. 528 ca. 1838-40 Samuel Colt American In 1835 and 1836, the American inventor and industrialist Samuel Colt (1814-1862) patented a revolutionary type of multishot pistol that is still used today. Colt's revolvers had a rotating cylinder that could be loaded with several rounds and fired quickly by cocking and releasing the hammer or, in later models, by simply pulling the trigger. Early Colt firearms used percussion ignition and had to be loaded with powder, bullets, and ignition caps in separate operations. After 1870, Colt models were produced for self-contained cartridges that are much like modern pistol ammunition.First manufactured by Colt's factory in Peterson, New Jersey (1836-42), from 1847, the revolvers were made at a much larger plant in Hartford, Connecticut. A special workshop at the Hartford factory employed highly skilled decorators and artisans, many of German origin. Their ornamental motifs, still populDisc with a rock lock, converted into a capshaft GirardMatchlock Gun of Horio Yoshiharu late 16th-early 17th century Japanese. Matchlock Gun of Horio Yoshiharu.

United Kingdom iron (metal). brass (alloy). wood (plant material)Pistol with a rock castlePistol with a rock castleSnaphaunce Hunting Rifle dated 1722 Signed by Jonas Schertiger the Younger Swedish This rifle exemplifies the diverse influences shaping firearms design in eighteenth-century Sweden. Its slender proportions and small-caliber barrel are modeled after the Silesian Tschinke rifle; the prominent cheek stock is typically German, as is the use of inset brass decoration, yet the flat-faced lock copies French models. The lock mechanism, however, is unmistakably Swedish, as the snaphaunce lock was favored in Scandinavia over the wheellock and flintlock commonly used on the Continent. A gunstocker by trade, Jonas Schertiger the Younger was a member of the Stockholm cabinetmakers' guild. His name and the date of manufacture are prominently engraved on the brass inlay on the cheek stock. A blank escutcheon surmounted by a royal crown on the sideplate suggests that this gun was intended for the hunting cabinet of King Frederick I of Sweden (reigned 1720-51)..

The unidentified makers mark (in a lozenge the initials LB flanking a cross-like device), which may be that of L. B. Beaugeois, a jeweler recorded at 11 rue Chabanais, Pairs, whose mark is registered in 1810-11, also appears on several gold mounts of the Museums fowling piece by Nicolas Noël Boutet (Acc. No. 42.50.7). The mounts of the pistols and fowling piece share in common heavy, space-filling floral and scroll ornament, and both have stocks combining inlays of metal foil and wire. The style of both the pistols and fowling piece, in absence of specific Empire motifs, suggests the period of restoration of the monarchy in France following the fall of Napoleon in 1815. The shape of the pistols butts returns to the more traditional eighteenth-century style, probably a conscious rejection of the squared butts found on pistPercussions cap muzzle loader of the 19. th century 18mmPistol for steam from No. 1.

Its technology, construction, and appearance anticipated Colt percussion revolvers that were developed and manufactured in the United States two decades later. Patented in England on November 24, 1818 by Elisha Collier, an American engineer from Boston living in London, the mechanism features a hand-rotated five-shot cylinder and a priming powder magazine incorporated into the steel. Collier himself was not a gunsmith and did not invent the action. The action was originally conceived by Captain Artemas Wheeler (1781-1845) of Concord, Massachusetts, who patented it in the United States on June 10, 1818. Collier held the rights to manufacture and sell it in England, and his patent made improvements to Wheelers design.Firearms technology advanced at an extraordinary pace in Europe in the early nineteenth century.

Museum: The Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, USA.Percussion Exhibition Pistol dated 1851 Signed by Gilles Michel Louis Moutier-Le Page French Commissioned by the renowned Paris gunmaking firm of Le Page, these are the only known pistols executed by Antoine Vechte (1799-1868), a virtuoso silversmith, sculptor, and chiseler, who was famous in his day as the "nineteenth-century Cellini" in reference to the accomplished Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini. The pistols are unique in their all-steel construction and in the variety of highly original Renaissance-inspired figural ornament. Probably not finished when the companion pistol (acc. no. 2013.514.1) was shown at the French Industry Exhibition in Paris in 1849, this pistol appears to have been completed by Vechte in London, to which he had emigrated. It certainly was featured at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in London in 1851, where Vechte received a prize medal for his collective achievements..
