A rifle attributed to Andreas Albrecht, private collection
" In comparing tracings of the butt profile of this rifle to others, the top line and buttplate of this rifle and several of Oerter's rifles match exactly, but there is another 1/4" pf wood along the toe forward of the buttplate here, allowing for the more obvious stepped wrist."
Barrel of signed 1774 Christian Oerter rifle, private collection
"The barrel's bore is strongly rifled as "new", measures 0.525 inches (32 bore) at the muzzle, is rifled with seven round bottomed grooves which are slightly narrower than the lands and a rapid right hand twist, making an approximate one and a half turns in the 46' length of the barrel."
