Pennsylvania Flintlock A spectacular custom Pennsylvania flintlock rifle is part of the auction, with proceeds going to the National Muzzleloading Rifle Association. It was crafted by master gunsmith James Klein of Fulton, Mich., in the traditional 18th-century style of Peter Berry, a very successful gunmaker in his time. Klein has created a faithful, artful rendition of this historic muzzleloader. The .50 caliber has a striking tiger maple stock and features the highest quality components available, including a Colerain barrel, Siler lock and double-set triggers.

The one-hand opening knife is further adorned with diamond inlays on the thumb stud and lock button, and 18kt rose-gold fittings provide the final elegant touches.
