A.B. Semple & Bros Plains Rifle 44 Cal NVSN
Antique American made half stocked plain rifle with an approximate .44 caliber bore. Features a heavy 34 1/2" octagonal barrel, low-profile German silver blade front sight, dovetailed rear sight, double set triggers, brass finger rest trigger guard, engraved lock marked "A.B. SEMPLE & BROS/LOUISVILLE", wood ram rod, brass patch box, and straight grip tiger striped wood shoulder stock with pewter forend cap & brass buttplate.

The barrel exhibits a molted brown patina with scattered gold tones, the lock displays scattered pin prick pitting and the brass components have aged to a lovely patina.
