Help in Identifying Builder

[wilded]

Forty caliber Custom flintlock, German silver trim, browned lock, triggers and barrel. I bought it from a Fort Hood soldier in Texas that was shipping out to Afghanistan about ten years ago that said it was left to him by his dad and was from a custom maker in Tennessee or Kentucky. He said it had hung on the wall in his family home all his life and that was all he knew. It a very well made rifle but I have never fired it and had it in the safe since I bought it. I have not found any visible marks on the outside to identify the maker. Where would I look for the makers mark or does anyone recognize the rifle. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Plain rifle but nice. Check the inside of the lock. If that is browned also the rifle is probably a Jackie Brown build.
