This lot features a vintage Thompson/Center Hawken .50 caliber black powder rifle, likely assembled from a kit, accompanied by a leather possibles bag, a powder horn, and a manual for shooting black powder guns. The rifle showcases a classic Hawken design with a rich wooden stock, brass furniture including a crescent buttplate, trigger guard, and thimbles, and an engraved lock plate. The stock features a distinctive mother-of-pearl or abalone inlay on the cheekpiece, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged functionality. The overall aesthetic evokes the frontier era, reflecting the historical significance of Hawken rifles in American expansion and hunting. The inclusion of the possibles bag and powder horn completes a ready-to-use or display set for a black powder enthusiast or collector. Expert observation suggests this is a well-maintained kit build, common for Thompson/Center, known for their quality muzzleloaders.
