    What is this gun?

    Good news! I have been in contact with a gentleman in Miamisburg Oh, who is a volunteer for their historical society. He has sent me some very interesting info on Nelson Clark. I thought I would share it with everyone, since the rubbing off of the gun that is on loan to their museum is in my...

    Hope I didn't offend anybody. This thread kinda died. I'm still looking up information on this rifle if anyone has anything else to add.

    Is that all it says Zonie? Nothing about where he lived and what time period?

    What is this gun?

    Thanks again for the tips! It is definitely N. Clark. I did a rubbing and recreated the letters. Here's a pic. Is this the original owner? Who else would put there name on it, but then again...its not like they had engravers back then. Could this be the gunsmith's signature?

    What is this gun?

    If you see in that one picture with the patchbox open, it has a spring board location that holds it back or open. The patchbox stays closed pretty well, but im no expert.

    What is this gun?

    The "grey" coloring has been there for as long as I know. It looks like someone many years ago had a leather patch placed around the butt-stock, but I thought that was only if the stock was cracked or damaged. As far as I can tell, the integrity of the stock is fine. That area is tacky though...

    What is this gun?

    Not loaded. Thanks for the tip. Here's some more pic's. Notice the seven groove twisted muzzle. How did they do that by the way? On the last picture, the name "W" or "N"(hard to tell) Clark is engraved on the top of the barrel

    What is this gun?

    The percussion lock gun I have is in desperate need of restoration and I don't have a clue who to talk to. No offense to any gunsmith, but just handing this off to someone not well versed in these rifles is not an option for me. If I have offended anyone for that comment, my apologies. To be...

    Welcome from Dubois Pa.

    I happen to be one of those fortunate sons that inherited most of my guns from my father, and I only have one gun passed down from many generations that qualify for this website. I am happy to be here and hope that I can carry on old traditions just the same. My father would have been...
