I have a quote from George Shumway in the first paragraph of his article about the Tulip rifle that raises a question for me.
The quote,
"Such rifles sometimes are referred to as 'transition' pieces, which is an appropriate term that reflects the move from rifles of purely Germanic origin, whether made in continental Europe or in early America,,,,," - Shumway in Muzzleblasts Feb. 1988
It is this last phrase that draws the question. Does anyone have any examples of a rifle, or rifles, made in "early America," that are, "of purely Germanic origin," available to share?
Thank you.
