I am researching some old rifles for my great-uncle. We are trying to identify a percussion muzzleloader of his and find out information about the maker.
It is a Half Stock in .40 caliber. Its barrel is octagon and there is 5/16 inch of steel surrounding the bore.
On the stock are metal inlays shaped like stars. The lockplate has an engraving of a dog & flying bird in a meadow. There is a name on the plate, but the first part is unreadable. It appears to be _____nmore. There are no visible markings or serial numbers on the gun until the barrel is removed from the stock. On the bottom of the barrel are two stamps: Remington & HE.RESLEY.
Any information would be appreciated. I have not been able to find anything about it.
