Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
I have recently acquired this antique and was wondering if anyone might have any info on it. There is no proof marks on it. Only thing that can be made out is 1868 and that is on the receiver just under the barrels. Thank you.

Hard to tell from the photos, but very similar to guns made by Blunt & Syms of New York City... If not, then it could possibly be one of the Ethan Allen guns (Allen & Thurber, Allen & Wheelock, etc)

IMO, it's not an Ethan Allen, Allen & Thurber or an Allen & Wheelock design - which had tubular frames that extended much further aft of the hammers than your gun.
