Possibly southern percussion full stock rifle. It's unmarked and it's obviously seen a great deal of use, cleaning and repair during the course of its existence. But the old girl still processes what I think are very graceful, delicate lines and is a joy to hold and point despite her length. Thanks for looking and I would be very interested if anyone out there might have some idea as to where this one might originally hail from.

 

Total Length: 63"
Barrel Length 46.5"
Weight: 9.5 lbs
Cal. .41
Drop at Heel: 4.1"
Swamped Barrel: Breech: 1" / 12 Inches from muzzle: .8" / Muzzle: .9"
Nose Cap: Poured Pewter
Brass Hardware
No ramrod entry pipe
Lock: Maybe a Golcher but markings now unreadable.
Two screw tang.
