This flintlock arrived by mail today. The seller said there were no maker's marks on it. From the one pic he had posted I thought maybe a Miroku made for Ultra- Hi. However, I think I notice an I and an N near the breech plug so I'm thinking Spain so likely CVA. Yet the barrel shows no sign of any altering to get rid of stampings. It has no patch box. It's 45 caliber with 33 inch barrel. The lock works well and it sparks well even as set up. I looked online and I came across another one with no patch box and 33 inch 45 caliber barrel. It also stated no identification markings on it.

If you remove the lock it will usually be stamped with Spain or Japan. That should narrow things down. Good luck.
 
It could be a Markwell depending on the patch box.
No patch box. I believe Jukar is likely the winner. I took the lock out and it says Spain on the inside. Surprising how well the inletting is done on this rifle. Not a scratch in the stock. Likely saw little use over the years.
 
You just might have the "Frankenstein" version....I know only a couple of my guns are not mix and match parts.

Not uncommon on today's guns
