That's a cool rifle!
Not what I'd look for, but I'd sure like to have it.
Cheers

Paul,
Do you know who built this rifle? I find the lines fascinating though very different from what I have and would have built. I have been following the early American gunmakers recently thanks to Don S, you and Mike Petrov and find Fred Adolph, Wundhammer, Seymour Griffin and other early custom gunmakers absolutely fascinating. Would love to learn more about this particular rifle whenever you have time.
Lovely piece and it goes without saying that you have some real treasures, my friend!
