Its either a Seneca or a Cherokee, early barrels were not marked but you can tell them apart by the amount of brass present More brass equals Seneca.

Welcome from New York State's Central-Leatherstocking region.

Mussels might be corrosive to the barrel. But tasty.

Howdy, Nathan. Welcome from Florida.

Regarding your rifle’s value, a lot depends on condition and rarity. Photos would be great, but at the very least, it would help to know what model you have. What is stamped on the barrel? Seneca, maybe? Or Cherokee?

Also… respectfully… you’ll get a lot less flack from the peanut gallery here if you would take just a minute to proof-read and edit your posts before you submit them.

We’re always glad to see a new member, though. Welcome!

Mussel loader?!?

I guess that rifle is for hunting mollusks. Or the OP is not a native English speaker.
