 Robert Reeves was a California maker of Hawken/Hawken type muzzle loaders and an engineer,aerospace I think.I met him at Friendship in the mid 60's.His work was fine and a number of his guns had my locks on them and maybe triggers as well.Pull the lock and see who made it.
Robert Reeves passed away years ago but I can't time frame it.
I hope this helps a little.

I pulled the lock out and it says "roller " in a circle and a 14 on the back of the hammer. It's marked No.41 on top of the barrel. It has exquisite burl curly maple stock. Thanks for the info. Bill Rummenie
