Fascinating rifle. I cannot say one thing about its history but appreciate the posting as this forum is my educational channel.
Is the trigger a set trigger where on pushes the fron forward to set it?

Well that is unique for sure. That trigger alone is something I haven't seen before. Can't wait till somebody takes a guess at where it was made. Probabaly 1830 ish somewhere.
Thanks for posting it.

I've seen a few similar rifles that were made in northern New England, mostly Vermont. I wonder if rocking the trigger forward releases the barrels and lets them rotate for a follow up shot? My newly made swivel breech has a small release lever inside the trigger guard so that I don't have to drop the rifle from my shoulder to rotate the barrels. Works very well.
