School: Lancaster (Pennsylvania/PA)
Born in Germany in 1740. Came to Pennsylvania in 1748 and settled in Lancaster County in 1756. Made rifles during the Revolutionary War and contracted rifles for the State of Pennsylvania. Jacob Dickert died in 1822. According to author and rifle scholar Henry J. Kauffman, Dickert must be considered one of the most influential Lancaster gunsmiths, based not only upon his personal production but also due to his influence upon apprentices and peers in the Lancaster school.
