Pay attention. This is the most exceptional half-stock muzzle-loader ever offered by Rock Island Auction Company. Not only is this early production Hawken rifle wonderfully embellished and in fine condition, it comes with an interesting history, having been formerly owned by riverboat captain George W. Atchison of St. Louis.
The silver laden rifle was previously on display at the Cody Firearms Museum where it described as "The Finest Hawken Rifle" on its display board, which is included in this lot.

Gotta love guns and coins. So much history. Unfortunately because I live in Australia I can only collect coins.

Ya, she’s a BIGURN for sure! BUT, a most important omission was “what’s the CALIBER”???! Most important with a Hawken! These rifles were not made for squirrel hunting!! They’d usually be big bores of typically .50 - .54 caliber OR larger! I own a gorgeous .58 custom made caplock Hawken by Andy Fautheree (1968). It’s got a heavy barrel for heavy powder charges!! Not sure of the weight, but maybe 11lbs or so. If I were to ever order another Hawken, I’d order a General Ashley .69 flintlock & really have some fun (at BOTH ENDS!!!)! But at 82 now, I’m sure I’ll never afford another custom made rifle again. Bought my .58 when I was 28 & a bachelor!! But ALWAYS tell the caliber before anything else!!! I still say, brass furniture looks so much nicer than silver! Silver looks too much like ugly pewter! I’d really love to have copper furniture! “Ach du lieber, mein schatz”! “Gesundheit”!

All the early J&S rifles were much slimmer than the later 1840s-50s rifles. There is a very similar but unadorned J&S in their vault. The “The Petersen” J&S in Cody also has the same stock profile and the same lock plate design. I believe both of these predate the Atchison rifle. And there were Hawken rifles being made in St Louis in the 1820s.

Can’t seem to edit the post above the rifle in the vault is in the Montana Historical Society collection in Helena and at last report has not been put on display.
