Description:
R.T. ELLIS & CO. New York Antique ENGRAVED Full-Stock Percussion LONG RIFLE

Double Set Trigger HUNTING/HOMESTEAD Longarm

Here we present an antique Full Stock Percussion Long Rifle with an R.T. Ellis & Company marked lock, made circa the 1830s. Reuben T. Ellis was a firearms distributor located in Albany, New York between 1815-1837, and then working out of New York, New York circa 1837-1851.

This rifle’s stout octagonal barrel is in .38 caliber, large enough to take small to medium sized game or to defend the homestead against unwanted aggression. Rifle manufacture in the mid-to-late 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsmen all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of the so-called Kentucky long rifles have been lost over time. This rifle is one such example.
The overall condition is good. Original dark patina. The stock is re-varnished, remaining solid. Small period repairs have been made around the toe and right side of the barrel. The action is strong. Legible markings on the lock. Engravings are somewhat worn on the lock and hammer. The bore is dim with serviceable rifling.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 47 inches.

Caliber: .38 Percussion
