- Flintlock Pennsylvania Rifle, circa 1810 - This is a splendid example of a Pennsylvania-made long rifle, a specialty of German immigrant communities. With over forty decorative inlays depicting eagles, shields, hearts, and abstract decorations, this rifle is an elaborate work of art, no doubt viewed with pride by its owner, perhaps a member of a Pennsylvania militia.
