Picked up a halfstock GRRW flintlock Leman Indian Trade Rifle

[Okurok]

Had the opportunity to purchase a GRRW Flintlock Indian Trade Rifle. In really good condition. Had some questions about the makers mark that hopefully someone can answer for me. Who is LP? Goes well with my other Lemans, a GRRW Little Leman in .45 and my Leman project that is long over due in .58. The unfinished rifle has a GRRW barrel that I came across 10 years ago.

There was a Pat Laken, that worked there. I'm not the authority, but it may be him?

I talked to Carl Walker last night and he told me Pat Laken's stamp was a large "L" with small "P" for a stamp.

Pat moved back to the Northeast and Carl had heard he has passed on.

That would be it. Thanks for the information.
