Featured in this lot we have an Afghan Khyber Pass pearl inlayed percussion cap camel rifle.45 gauge. This model of rifle was manufactured by the tower of England armorers in the 1800's. The tower rifles where used by the British troops in the Khyber Rifles Regiment and later taken by the Afghans after the 1830-1840's massacre of the stationed troops and was converted to a ironwood stock and camel gun design. The rifle was converted from its original flint lock design to a percussion cap, presumably around the same time its stock was converted. The rifle displays a 32" long octagonal barrel with flared muzzle, ironwood stock, percussion cap action, and inlayed mother of pearl. The piece shows a typical pattern ironwood stock having the butt stock area curving drastically. The barrel is secured to the stock with three barrel bands of brass. The percussion cap lockplate displays spiral geometric etched designs and signs of flintlock conversion. The stock is inlayed with numerous carved geometric pieces of mother of pearl with mother of pearl believed to bring providence and justice. The piece comes with three pieces of ephemera comprised of a Conway of Asia Khyber Rifle authentication certificate, accompanied Peterson Conway card with hand written information on the rifle, and a receipt of sale with the original sale price of $4800, all originating from 1982. The rifle overall shows a warm patina which would lend to its early age. The rifle weighs 8lbs. No Serial Number. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
