I recently inherited this .36 caliber Kentucky long rifle- I can trace it to my grandfather but no one in the family can tell me where he got it- looks to be much older than his time. I have attached pictures. The only indentifying marks on the rifle are located on the lock itself. As you can see in the photo's the words stamped into the lock are:
"G.W. LEONARD & SON" - "MADISON" - "INDY"
Can you tell me anything about this rifle- where it was made, by whom, how old it may be? Does it have any value. I have the original nipple that was recently changed due to the corrosion on the original so it could me made safe to shoot. I appreciate any insight you may be able to offer.
Thanks
