Just to update those interested on what was represented at a local auction as a P.A. Reinhard rifle. The only markings that I could find was "P.A. Reinhard" which was on top of the barrel about a fourth of the way down but behind the rear sight and four digits that were at the butt stock end of the barrel but in paired sets one set below the other. In person the rifle was in very good condition overall, heavy (I would guess 14 lbs.+). The stock was tiger maple with many brass inlays and patch box, wood to metal fit was very good. The barrel was a large diameter hexagon barrel. The rifle had the target style butt plate and double set triggers which worked. The hammer was a bit smaller than most rifles of that period and cocked quite easy. To me it appeared to be a purpose built target rifle except that it had traditional non-adjustable sights with the small thin blade style front sight. With it was either an original mold and powder flask or at least period correct. The sale was near Wichita, KS and the buyer was a collector from Ohio who paid $1,050.
