EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American history - the Flintlock Longrifle. Crafted in Pennsylvania, York County around 1795, this firearm represents the ingenuity and artistry of its time. The intricate brass inlay on the wooden maple stock adds a touch of elegance to its functional design. The genius behind this masterpiece is none other than George Schreyer Sr. , an esteemed gunsmith renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship. With meticulous attention to detail, he expertly combined steel, iron, and silver to create a weapon that not only served as a tool for warfare but also stood as a work of decorative art.

This image serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles and triumphs.
