PHILADELPHIA — A Revolutionary War-era rifle by Johann Christian Oerter was returned after 48 years to the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution in a ceremony at the Museum of the American Revolution on Friday, November 1. The Kentucky rifle had been stolen, taken from a display case that was pried open with a crow bar in 1971, while it was on loan to the Valley Forge Historical Society and on display at the visitor center at Valley Forge State Park.
