162. PAIR OF FLINTLOCK PISTOLS said to have been owned by David Lewis, "The Robber." A PARTIAL CATALOGUE OF THE PIPER COLLECTION. (ALTOONA, PA.) 1. AFRICAN TRADERS' FLINTLOCK GUN. L. 66-1/2" Roughly and cheaply made. Black-painted poplar stock, brass mountings. Belgian proof-marks. Guns of this sort were made at a cost of about a dollar and often brought as much as five hundred dollars worth of ivory. 2. PERCUSSION KENTUCKY RIFLE. L. 58" Curley maple stock, highly polished and finished in a dark, mahogany-like red. Big and extremely ornate brass patch-box, brass plate on under side of stock, running from trigger-guard to lower ramrod-thimble, original striped ramrod. All brasswork engraved. About .32 calibre. Double set triggers. Sights not original. This rifle was apparently made to order for some wealthy gentleman farmer or city sportsman, and it is extremely accurate. Mark, "Tryon, Philadelphia". In almost original condition, inside and out. 3. PERCUSSION SPORTING RIFLE. L. 56" Purchased in the neighborhood of Altoona, Pa., and probably of Pennsylvania origin, though there are no marks. Similar to the Kentucky style of rifle, except for back-action lock and small oval patch-box. Brass mountings and curley maple stock. About .44 Cal. 4. OVER-AND-UNDER PERCUSSION RIFLE. L. 50" Barrels revolve, being released by catch in front of trigger-guard. Full length curley maple stock, ramrod on one side and three German silver inlays on the other. Large brass patch-box. Mark; "Conestoga Rifle Works". These double-barrel rifles with revolving barrels are rare. 5. HEAVY PERCUSSION TARGET RIFLE. L. 50-1/2" Full-length Kentucky type stock. Lock marked "Jos. Golcher." Weight, 15 pounds. In comparatively poor order, though it can be fired. 6. U. S. ARTILLERY MUSKET. (PERCUSSION) L. 48" Civil War issue. Used by field artillery for defending gun-positions against enemy cavalry. Mark; "Savage R. F. A. Co." A rare type and by a scarce maker. 7. ENFIELD STYLE CONFEDERATE MUSKET.
