介绍（中）	这种长步枪的制造商Henry Young属于一个家族的第三代，该家族至少有五名枪手，他们活跃了四代或四代以上。尽管这一时期的许多长步枪都是基于其凸起或雕刻的优点而成为艺术品的，但亨利·杨的步枪几乎没有雕刻或根本没有雕刻，而是以其创造性的形状和精致的雕刻黄铜配件而闻名，尤其是其古怪的、往往不对称的接线盒。这款步枪的接线盒，灵感来自洛可可的幻想，很好地展示了他的风格的主要特征。第一代亨利·杨是这种步枪制造商的祖父，他的儿子约翰是家族的第一代和第二代枪匠。他们在宾夕法尼亚州北安普敦县伊斯顿镇生活和工作，在那里他们可能训练过，或者至少激励过该地区其他有成就的枪手，尤其是赫尔曼·鲁普和雅各布·昆茨。
介绍（英）	Henry Young, the maker of this longrifle, belonged to the third generation of a family that included at least five gunsmiths who were active over four generations or more. While many longrifles of the period succeed or fail as works of art based on the merits of their raised or incised carving, Henry Young’s rifles have little carving or none at all, instead being distinguished by their creatively shaped and delicately engraved brass fittings, and in particular by their eccentric, often asymmetrical patch boxes. The patch box of this rifle, an inspired Rococo fantasy, demonstrates the main characteristics of his style well. The first Henry Young, grandfather of the maker of this rifle, and his son John, were the first and second generation gunsmiths of the family. They lived and worked in Easton Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where they may have trained, or at least inspired, other highly accomplished gunsmiths from the region, especially Herman Rupp and Jacob Kuntz.
