Help With Identifying This Rifle

[g rummell]

A customer brought me this rifle the other day to have some restoration work done to it. Along with the restoration he has asked me to try to identify it and give a little history as to where it came from. I'm thinking maybe a late Ohio, West Virginia, or Pa post Civil War. There are no signatures or initials anywhere, there is the number 19 stamped in a couple locations inside the lock. The customer is in his 70's and said his grandfather gave him the rifle when he was 16. Grandfather was from the Blair, Huntingdon, Williamsburg, Pa. area. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.

This is a type of half stock rifle common to Appalachia. I have seen a number of them
in antiques shops over the years.I have made a few myself.It could be a gun made for
a local shooter/hunter and the lock is a common gunsmith's lock and so are the triggers.
