School: Berks (Pennsylvania/PA)
Long, Stofil (Stofille) is shown in the 1850 census working as a gunsmith in Albany Township. Albany Township lays at the most northern end of Berks County and his rifles show nearby Lehigh County influences of slimmer, lighter rifles than those produced in other areas of Berks County. His rifles sometimes include the mysterious “Indian head” motif seen on rifles coming from the two neighboring county’s borders.
