Very interesting piece. Is the bore drilled off center or is that the angle of the picture? I like it but don't know anything about that maker. I'm sure someone will be along shortly that may be familiar with it.

I'd love to see a picture of the sights to see how they compensated for the bore runout. Lovely piece. Leman (?) stamped on lock...
 
Here’s all the pictures I received from my friend in WV. An ornate rifle for sure. No pics of the sights and never got a full length photo.

All I can tell is that it looks a bit like a Lancaster Trade Rifle or maybe a Leman. Or I don't know.
