An original Jacob George | Kentucky Rifle Foundation

We’d like to thank the Kentucky Rifle Foundation for sharing this beautiful Jacob George rifle with us on facebook.

“Jacob George, 1793 to 1850, son of Henry George a gunsmith, both of Greenwich Township, Berks County, PA. This is a signed and dated rifle so look at the rifle and try to guess it's age before you read the date. This rifle a a great example of his work, probably one of the best. It's hard not to appreciate all the work that went into this example.”

Be sure to check out The Kentucky Rifle Foundation website for more of these great Kentucky Rifles.

During the latest episode of the Muzzle Blasts Podcast, we talked with Mike Beliveau of the Duelist1954 youtube channel. In the podcast we glanced over this rifle build, so I just had to go to his youtube and learn more about it.
