Peter M Thrush born 1814 died in 1889. Peter was a gunsmith in the Burlington area from at least 1850 to his death. He is listed as a gunsmith in the 1850,1870 & 1880 Mineral County census. We have seen less than half a dozen rifles made by him. One was signed Peter M Thrush in the script, the other rifles were signed P M T one in block letter and the remaining in script. All of the rifles we have seen were percussion and most likely he never built many if any flintlocks as he was active during the percussion period.
Signed P M T
