context_page_description: Auguste Sylvestre Lacome was a French settler and trader in the New Mexico territory and brother of Jean Baptiste Lacome. He was an investigator to the White Massacre.
context_section_description: Lacome's .58 caliber percussion lock prairie rifle is displayed in the Palace of the Governors museum in Santa Fe, where he is listed as a trader with the Zuni and Navajo. It is a Hawken style with a snail breech and double set trigger in a scroll guard. The .58 caliber untapered barrel is 36" x 1-1/8" and the rifle is approximately 53" in overall length with a 13-5/8" length of pull.
  The rifle was originally a fullstock, but was either damaged and repaired or intentionally cut down to a halfstock length. A custom pewter nose cap on the stock and an oak underrib were added in the modification. The front sight is a copper base with bone blade. The cheekpiece is an earlier square syle typically found on flintlocks, rather than the beavertail typical of later percussion locks.
