Boy, oh boy; that is a humdinger!!! Great wood, attic find, really fine patch box, and good long barrel. It does look a bit Virginiaish and will keep up with the best of them. Nice signature on the barrel so should be possible to find the maker. Thank you for bringing her in for us to drool over.

I agree, nice find. I once owned one very similar.

Could we see pics of the details?  Great curl. Congrats

 A real nice James Rinehart rifle.    His brother John was a gunsmith too.  Nice patchbox.  Thanks for posting.
