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.

Living History is a family affair for Samson Historical | Muzzle Blasts Podcast

We stopped by the Samson Historical booth at the Conner Longrifle Trade Fair and Antique Arms Show to sit down and chat with Abbie and Casey Samson about how their business has changed over the past 10 years and what they are seeing in the living history communities.
