Hello all, I went to the Reno gun show Friday and Saturday. I wasn’t in the door but 10 minutes and found this Rifle. I don’t think it’s been fired, bore was dusty but with a flashlight I could see the breech, it looks like brand new. The barrel is 32” with 8 lands and grooves. It’s a 50 cal. There are no markings on the stock, on the bottom of the barrel there is a “G” stamped on it. That is the only marking. I was thinking an Ithaca Hawkin when I got my hands on it. I disassembled it this morning and the triggers are stamped Cherry Corners. There is no stamping on the lock itself. I’d love to hear what your thoughts are. I’m pretty excited as it’s a beautiful rifle and everything functions perfectly. It has a couple spots on the stock from storage, but they are very minor. Its raining here today and trying to turn into snow. I’m going to get it cleaned up and ready to shoot. The seller was asking $350, I got it for $225! Told my wife to pinch me as we walked away from the seller!

There is a thread on the American Long Rifle forum with a gun almost identical to this. We're not supposed to link to other ML forums, but the thread is titled "The Accidental Vintage Repro Hawken Collection." See Reply 14.

Cherry Corners was a gun shop selling hardware kits for Hawkens.
 
I think it could be a Sante Fe Hawken sold by Allen mfg made by Uberti. I had one in .53. I could be wrong but it looks like the one I had

Thank you for the information to find that article. Excellent read.
 
Cherry Corners BEFORE Ithaca bought them out. Then Navy Arms bought them out from Ithaca. Nice Score!
