There were three Henry Bruners- Henry Bruner Sr. (1719-1769), Henry Bruner Jr. (died 1803) and Henry Bruner III (1789-1819). A known example of Henry Bruner III’s work has a “Christmas tree” style patchbox, which is typical for the Rowan School of gunmaking. It is signed, “H.B.” The Bruner’s favored the patchbox release button in the toe plate and not in the upper sideplate of the patchbox as found in most Rowan School rifles.
