.62 cal, 28 1/2'' octagon barrel with swamped muzzle and a bright near excellent bore showing a few small areas of mild oxidation and otherwise crisp deep rifling. This rifle has been reconverted to flint and the barrel retains perhaps 40% original bright blue that is flaking and toning to a mild gray-brown patina with a little old oxidation speckling and handling marks. The breech flats show fine deeply impressed maker's touch marks of G. Keiner and the breech plug is a dark gray case-hardened patina. The slightly concave lockplate with teat at the rear has been cleaned to a pewter gunmetal patina and has had antique flintlock components affixed, the pan neatly welded on, and equipped with simple unbridled frizzen. Brass fittings consist of a very nice pierced spiraling thimble and tailpipe, wide triggerguard, buttplate and attractive pierced foliate toe inlay, sideplate and cheekpiece inlay. The stock appears to be maple and remains in very good plus condition showing some older added varnish, overall light dings and a few small drying cracks. The stock features horn nosecap, nice checkered sliding patchbox cover and subtle rounded left-side cheekpiece. The sling attachments are intact and a simple bone-tipped ramrod is present. Sighted with semi-buckhorn v-notch rear and silver blade front, the lock with double set triggers seems to function normally. Keiner is listed in Stockel operating circa 1760.
