As soon as I had the rifle, I compared it to the J S Hawken, S Hawken and Gemmer rifles in the Cody, WY Cody Museum.
Does my new "Hawken" resemble closely any of the originals in the photographs according to the more experienced and expert eyes?
Number 9 in this photograph look superficially similar, but with a much shorter length of pull:

Thanks,
Ron

What is the range of rifled bores in the museum pieces?
 
The range of the bores size is .38 to .59 according to these labels:
