Hello All,
I just picked up an unusual over/under , side hammer rifle from Gunbroker. It has a .40cal rifled barrel and a .45 cal smooth bore, 24" in length. Judging by the shape of the stock and the metal work, I would say this was made right around the civil war time frame. The seller has said that there are no marking that he can find. I cannot wait for it to be delivered so I can start my research. All the information I have is what I have told you. The only time I have ever seen a rifle like this was in a museum and that is why I am picking your brains for information.
