This may be a southern rifle, based on: 1) the wavy termination of the forestock molding at the rear pipe, 2) what appears to be two flats [instead of 3] filed on the outside of the guard's bow and extensions, 3) patchbox finial symmetrical on both sides of central axis, 4) simple double line forestock and lower butt molding. We need to see better pictures of details on the rifle, such as guard, side plate, rear ramrod pipe area, to get a better idea. But from what I can see, NC or SC aren't out of the question.
