Dang...that is one beautiful rifle :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ...what caliber is she??? :hatsoff:
 
I must be coming in late to this discussion. What is the source of this rifle? And, who is Jacob?

Good eye,....
On the lines of Jacob's earlier work. :wink:

The patchbox on my Dickert is similar, has the clover leaf top, and a top-button lid release
 
I think the top button release for the patchbox, is on such a more refined level. Simple parts, amazing execution....
 
I guess it would depend on when early is, that patchbox is rather elaborate , multi pieced for what most call an Early lancaster, the carving behind the cheakpiece looks almost a bit Hainesish to me?...no Oerter? maybe who Dickert learned it from? wouldn't that patchbox be likely post 1775-1780ish, nice gun, probably bits of several inspred it.
