Hi
I pick this muzzle loader up a few weeks ago. At first look from a distance I thought it was a old 22 or toy gun by just looking at the bolt and spring in the back. After looking around in the shop and glancing up at the wall again I notice size of the barrel. asking the shopkeeper if I can take a closer look at the rife. The gun strike me weird, it had a old antique patina. barrel band had a hammered surface. As for the rear bolts when pulled back you could see the nipple. Their are no markings that I could see. The wood stock is not machine made you can tell in few places it wasn't completely sanded down right. The bore is 10.4mm and with an endoscope I could see some riffling or may grooves. The ram rod has a worm made on the end and doesn't come off .This gun has all traits of being very old but a design I never seen before
someone at some time installed thumbtacks on the gun to make it look like a trade rifle
Could someone help me find information on this
