Hello, I am new to this forum and to firearms in general. My main objective to being here is to find out as much as I can about a rifle I recently acquired. I can post photos as soon as I learn how and where. I got the rifle from an estate and was told it is a Kentucky flintlock. It has a maple stock and octagon shaped barrel. There is NOT a lot of hardware on it such as brass plates or fancy engravings. The only markings I can find, are the initials "JFP" in fancy cursive writing on the top of the barrel. This may not be the right category to tell all this but I had to start somewhere. If anyone needs more info or can tell me where to send pics, please post back. Thanks
