The barrel is not signed.  The rifle is documented as coming into (what was then) Tioga County, NY no later than 1791.  Where does this fall in Eister's production years?

By the way, the Tioga County Museum has set up a membership in ALR to view our virtual museum.

he was a good artist, everything flows..............Don
