I have a muzzle loader with name of Joseph Golcher on lock mechanism. Can you give me an approximate date as to when this muzzle loader could have been built.
There okorder /... A couple of answers from there listed below: Joseph Golcher was a lockmaker who was located in Philadelphia PA circa the mid 19th century. His locks were sold to gunsmiths all over the country, particularly in the East. Golcher made percussion and flint gun locks circa 1825 - 1860. Joseph Golcher and Josh Golcher are one and the same.
