New to muzzleloaders

[stephenprops1]

I'm a newbie in Northwest Ohio. I have my great grandfather's gun. Appears to be a Pennsylvania percussion with initials A. S.

As a child, I admired the gun.

My dad gave it to me 20yrs ago. My brother was a gun buff and I sent pictures because he wanted to duplicate. When we were next together, I gave him the gun because it was right. He had disassembled with intent to duplicate. Then, died of sudden heart attack. It is in pieces but I have intact photos. Damaged by step-sister throwing down stairs yrs ago as kid. Broken stock. Knocked off one rod guide. One metal internal piece broken. Looking for guidance. No rush.

Thanks.

Take it to The Log Cabin Shop, in Lodi, Ohio. They can repair it for you or set you on the right course to do it yourself. They have been in business since the 1940's and the staff there is very knowledgeable. I think the 3rd generation of the founder still works there.
