ALR Museum Addition: Iron Mounted "AR" 090119-1 Unknown Maker

Please identify the maker or school for us. As Noble has indicated "possibly", perhaps someone knows with  certainty? Has a similar gun, with a more complete barrel signature?.

To be sure you are addressing the right gun, here is the URL

Fred,
It's listed below the photos.

Comments:

"Jerry Noble had surveyed this rifle and listed it in his Vol 2 as;  "AR un-located mounted rifle.  Has a pewter herringbone nose cap, several pewter inlays.  Probably made north of Knoxville Tennessee, possibly one of the Rice family.  Iron hardware, walnut stock.  Possibly Clairborne County"
Failure only comes when you stop trying.
