Reading School Relief Carved and Silver Accented Golden Age Kentucky Rifle | Unknown Builder
There is a crude marking on the upper right flat near the vent that looks like "NY," and it has a "KETLAND/& Co" marked lock. Otherwise, the rifle has no identifying markings. The profile and patchbox design are both very similar to rifles associated with the Reading School in Pennsylvania and has many attributes that are particularly similar to the rifles attributed to Wolfgang Haga/Hagens, such as those shown on pages 42-43 of "Berks County Longrifles & Gunmakers 1750-1900" by Patrick Hornberger and those on pages 122 and 130 of "Kentucky Rifles & Pistols 1750-1850" by Johnston and the Kentucky Rifle Association. Others with similar attributes are known by other gunmakers, including Stoffil Smith. The Kentucky Rifle Foundation states: "The legendary Wolfgang Haga was a gunsmith working in Reading according to a land grant dated 1767. Further tax records show him still working in Reading in 1779. No signed guns by Haga have been found, yet rifle design attributed to Haga set the standard for the Berks County style with later gunmakers copying his 'Roman-nose' stock and basic patchbox design. Always made with strong grained substantial tiger maple, Haga’s rifles with simple raised carving are symbolic of the Berks County rugged style of rifle."
