Interesting Find In Old House: 2 PA Long Rifles - Page 3

I doubt anyone just forgot they were there. Owner possibly died (in battle?). Seems like the Revolution would be a time to get your arms out, not hide them. Maybe they were used in the war, then put away for another time, or supplanted when more modern arms came along.

BTW, the "horns" are also worth $$$$$$ ( esp. if "engraved" )

Waiting on pics.

Like all others....PICS!!!!!

If I ever found anything like that, I'd keep them. I love old flintlocks.
