Unsigned, although likely Kentucky or Tennessee made. Octagon barrel fitted with a petite dovetailed silver blade front sight and semi-buckhorn rear. Plain blacksmith modified percussion lock with double set triggers. The full length hardwood stock is mounted with an iron nose cap, iron ferrules, iron trigger guard, and iron crescent butt plate.

Dark, black powder abraded bore. Nipple is a later replacement. Fine mechanics. Set trigger in order.
