Comments:
Despite no comment from the owner on whether the barrel is signed, and if so what name is there, the general architecture and furniture of this rifle resemble a Leman product...although the cheekpiece seems a little longer than normal for a Leman rifle. Presuming this is a Leman rifle, it then is a typical working rifle of basic construction, functional but not decorated.

This is a good example of a rifle that Leman probably produced by the hundreds .

Talk to the folks in Lancaster, PA and mention a Lancaster Rifle and they start talking about a Leman gun. To them, that is the shining example of a Lancaster rifle. This one appears to fit the description quite well and is a good enough example of a Leman product to be shown in the Library.
