Recreating a Scoped CW Sharpshooter Rifle?

[Cornbread]

People,
I came across the attached brass scope for very little $$$ and wanted to ask if there’s replicated hardware available to mount this to the side of a British Enfield/Whitworth muzzleloading rifle? I was hoping it MIGHT be a Davidson scope but I don’t think it is. It’s missing one end too. I’d like to see if I can use that scope to my advantage for longer shots.

I found a post from another forum where a set was offered for sale but I can’t find the original machinist or maker. Does anyone out there know of a source?

Thank you for any help,
James

Bill Blalock & Tim Ragland were making repo’s side mounts on PH Whitworth’s in the early 2000’s.
They were from GA and attended a few LRML matches at Oak Ridge, TN.
There wasn’t enough interest apparently for them to continue.

If you end up looking like the sharpshooter in this painting by Winslow Homer, then you've done a good job.

Check out the Jefferson bootees.

Thank you for those contacts! I'll see if I can find them online...
....and coincidentally, I resemble that sharpshooter only my hair is a little more grey and the soles of my bootees aren't quite as flat!

Cheers,
James

If my memory is right ( it usually isn't any better than my spelling). The Log Cabin used to have tube sights and mounts. Whitetail had one mounted on his Springfield.

By blind luck, I came across this rifle in my original source book by William Davis.

The caption states “British Whitworth Patent Rifle w/telescopic sight. I’ve never seen this rifle referenced anywhere. It obviously looks to be cut down or was it....???

That’s weird the other 2 photos didn’t link
