B Kitteridge rifle

[pwl44m]

Anybody ever hear of one of these ? It is another one of the Guns that I went to look at today. And of course I forgot My camera (I know shame on Me). He had some Guns that I had not seen before and this Kitteridge being one of them. I could barely make out the lettering and only after looking online did I come up with Kitteridge. It has very small lettering and most of that is illegible. I don't know if it is a cartridge Gun or a Rear stuffer. I say that because it has a lever on top of the breach with what looks like a ramrod on a muzzle loader pistol. It has a Percussion nipple on the right side. Anyhow that is the best I can do for now.
Thx for Ur Ear - more to come.

The only snippit of info I can find is in the Shooters Bible, collectors guide.
It lists a B. Kittredge & co. Cincinnati.
They were agents for Sharps rifles and they bought the entire stock of Sharps pistols after Sharp death in 1874.

It appears from what I can dig up that Kitteridge had Their hands in several manufacturers including Frank Wesson. I have not been able to dig up a picture of the Rifle that I saw. It seems that They were a wholesaler mostly. I see quite a few Handguns by Them but no rifles. I saw one picture of a Frank Wesson rifle that had been stamped over with B Kitteridge.
