Trying to find out the maker of this muzzleloader

 

[Tanselman]

As you may already know, you have a modern reproduction longrifle that has a few years on it, so it's getting some patina on it. If the modern maker signed it, you should see a name or initials on top of the barrel several inches behind the rear sight. If not signed, it will be difficult to determine the maker. The initials on the patchbox lid are probably those of the owner... so if the owner was the maker, then perhaps one of the modern builders will recognize the initials. But if the owner purchased the gun, we're back to probably not knowing who built it.

Shelby Gallien

I hope the inside of the barrel looks better than the neglected pan, looks like it was shot and not cleaned.

I just picked it up for 50 buck and it can be cleaned

AN overall Pic would be a big help. hard to tell from the ones I can see even when blown up on site.

I love the Germanic lock and fancy file work on the back of the trigger. Also like the teeth on the top jaw to hold the leater around the flind solidly.

For $50 Id say thats the deal of the month. You have a great looking rifle there. Put it to use, don’t fret over its pedigree.
