Check page 57 in Grinslade book, I have one just like it by the same maker whoever he was.

Yep, see that.

Page 41 has a fowler, NE9, having a TG that is not inlet and under the front strap there appears to be a square nut for the tang screw.

If only we all had rocking chairs, plenty of time and that gun could talk to us out on the porch.

This ramrod is iron .  Don't know if it is original to the gun, probably not.   I think during a conflict a iron  ramrod would be better than wood.
