Unknown maker mark ??

[Brad Foust]

Hi Friends,
I have an aquaintance that brought me a rifle to try and help him evaluate as he may need to sell it for his widowed mother.
It is a fine looking ifle that might even have been a flintlock originally, but I think is a later GOLDEN AGE type rifle. Very nice wood, lots of inletting, carving. And in pretty good condition.
I have some photos and would post on here but just cannot figure out how to use this site to do so.
There is makers initials on the top barrel flat and lock plate. But the are fancy script and hard to read just what they are. Maybe "C P" Maybe "C S"??
I will either send you some photos direct or would love to figure out how to add on here if someone can tell me??
Thanks, this might be a real find. His grandfather has had these rifle since before he can remember.
Adios

This should help with uploading pictures. I use tinypic.com an easy photo uploading site and free.

Upload the photos on Photobucket then use the "direct link" address at Photobucket and the little picture icon above the text entry window here to add the photos.
It is best to reduce the photos to large or medium email size first. I can "share" photos via email from my photo program and it automatically sizes them. Then I grad them to the "add photos" window on the Photobucket site.
