Hey folks. I am doing research for a family member on a rifle acquired @ 40 years ago from Afghanistan. Here is what I know; The right side of the action says "Wilkinson" and just forward of the flint latch is a roll mark "1805." I understand it to originally be from the Kaybre Mountain area. The current theory is that it is a British Rifle taken from a dead British soldier, and "re-stocked" to be able to be fired from a saddle, or so the story went. I have no idea. Any help would be appreciated, as I know of nowhere to get started. Other than personal value, is there a dollar value to this? Below are pics, thanks, Mike.
