Description
Flintlock rifle, maple full stock, brass mounted, silver inlay on the cheek side, octagonal barrel, 48 inches long. Although this rifle has an unusually long barrel its most unusual feature is the signature of the maker, G. Weiker, on the lid of the patch box. On a few of his products he is known to have included the price on the lid of the patch box which was usually $15. Weiker was an expert in the technique of incised carving. His rifles are rare and usually command a high price because of his novel method of advertising.

Description
From "Pennsylvania Kentucky Rifle" by Henry J. Kauffman, page 93: "A pair of such pistols, made by Fredrick Zorger of York, Pennsylvania, is exhibited in the Winterthur Museum, at Winterthur, Delaware. They are stocked in walnut, have silver mountings, and a very delicate pierced pattern in the lockbolt plate. The round barrels taper in the traditional manner and have "Yorktown" engraved on the top near the breech. The plain handmade locks are quite incongruous to the balance of the workmanship,
