Every once in a while somebody will bring me something that just stumps me when it comes to an appraisal or general knowledge. I’ve never been much into the older muzzleloading rifles and shotguns anyway but this one comes as a mystery.
I believe this is some kind of Whitworth rifle. Very heavy Octagon barrel with hexagonal bore. But it has problems. The sights have been outright removed and replaced. The brass end cap seems to have been altered and lengthened. And there’s a couple repairs.
Everything I can find on whitworths is military. But this appears to be a more sporting style. Any help would be helpful.
