The links below will take you to my Photobucket album with photos of an old muzzleloader. I'm hoping for some help to identify its origins. The lock appears to have been converted from flint. The octagon barrel tapers to round. I cannot see any rifling. The barrel is 37" long and the entire gun is about 53". It is not signed anywhere, except for "J Martin" on the lock, which I don't think is original. It's a family heirloom and the ancestors who are believed to have originally acquired it hailed from Dauphin County, PA (Harrisburg area). The muzzle measures .50 caliber.
The first link is basic photos. The second link has many more photos.
