    :confused: The only markings on my percussion rifle is Ardesa Spain,50 cal. and the serial #, along with what I believe is the makers marks. Which look like 3 cannon balls,700Kp/cm h*2.Can anyone tell me about this rifle? My father-in-law gave me this gun but he doesn't know anything about it. :hmm:
