Included in this lot is a PSJ & Co, Plains Indian Kentucky percussion rifle, originating from the 1850's. The Kentucky rifle utilizes a 40" long octagonal barrel chambered in an unknown caliber. This muzzle loading rifle operates from a percussion hammer and wooden ram rod. The rifle is marked on the side near the hammer reading "PSJ & Co Warra". The rifle is equipped with a sturdy, walnut hardwood stock, showing a dark coloration due to age. The metal of the side lock, crescent butt plate, and hammer show a dark gray patina with the usual surface rust. The rifle uses a two trigger system; the back trigger is used to lock the hammer back and the forward trigger releases the hammer, as intended. The firearm has not been tested. No Serial Number. Black powder firearms do not require a FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
