- Lot Description
Percussion combination rifle / shotgun with half stock, marked on both sides of lock plate "Delong & Son / Chattanooga, Tennessee", (Lucius DeLong, active c. 1860-1890), 32" barrels appear unmarked; double triggers, front and rear sights (on rifle); brass plate on stock reads "T. Windham". 10 gauge, .36 cal. Overall 49 1/2" L; barrel 32" L. Note: Walter Matson Cline (1873-1941) was a Chattanooga, TN, photographer and preeminent historian and collector of muzzle loading firearms. His book "the Muzzle-Loading Rifle Then and Now" became the authority on the history of black powder firearms when it was published in 1942, shortly after his death. The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, of which Cline was an early member, is headquartered in Friendship, IN, and is home to the Walter Cline shooting range. As this is an antique black powder firearm, no FFL is necessary.
