Hey guys, I live near Gettysburg, PA and recently aquired there an antique muzzleloader.
I appears to be a Kentucky rifle, with the hair trigger and all. The wood is rope burned (tiger striped). It is also abnormally heavy, as compared with a springfield, or other sizeable muskets.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where it came from, or where it was made.
After hours of corn oil rubbing the plate, I could decipher the words
"Partridge Warr....."
I have no idea what comes after the Warr, it seems like it would be Warrington, or Warrenton.....but doing countless searches on google, yahoo, and every other search engine have yielded me nothing.
I also looked in Flaydermans, but it gave me nothing as well.
I'd show pictures, but unfortunately I'm at college and the gun is at home.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
