It looks like they might have moved, since your rifle was made, and are now making only replica breechloaders.

A very good find. Congratulations.
Whatever it is, it looks nice. Muzzle looks like it was made for a slip over false muzzle, but well crowned. Check the rifling twist to see if it's for long slugs rather than round balls.
English or Euro style. Bet it shoots nice too.
Sure in great condition. You lucked out for sure.

Thanks for the replys. I had found the current site, but it dosen't help much. The importers list is something to go on though. Thanks.
It does seem like a great gun. I didn't even think about twist rate, I'll have to check that.
Can you beleave i got it for $100.00, the only bad thing was some dumbass had put a scope on it. On the good side of that, it is an all steel Weaver which should be worth almost what I paid for the whole thing. It was a gun show find, the part time dealer said side locks weren't worth anything, and he just wanted to get rid of it.
Sucker!
5 minutes after I bought it I was already getting offers of $200 for it.

You just can't beat a great treasure find. :thumbsup:
I did a double and triple take on your rifle. It looks a lot like one of the late Don Brown or also deceased Craig Kern's rifles. They are in the $3000+ dollar range. You got a great buy and a beautiful rifle. Hope it shoots half as good as it looks.
