I'm thinkin' this was/is a smooth rifle.. There is definitely enough "meat" in the barrel that it could be bored and relined. It would make a great chunk gun.

You have the most interesting stuff Em.

I've never seen an under hammer like that. Pretty neat.

Is it American, English, other?

So many pieces lost to history; under hammers are one of them. I don't know where you get all this cool stuff but I'm glad you are sharing it with us!

Heck, I was there when they made a lot of the stuff! *6'   Dave, I have no idea, but am doing a WAG that it is American made. I have looked all over the gun with a magnifying glass; there is the number 141 and very lightly struck (and in tiny letters) there is an undecipherable name on the barrel.
