I just brought home my newest old rifle.
Henry Tomes &Co....New York City , 1847.
.56 caliber , percussion back action lock , walnut full stock Plains Rifle.
Engraving on the patch box , trigger guard , toe plate and ram rod entry pipe.
Two gold bands near the breech...the breech also has engraving.

30 odd inch barrel...with decent rifling.
Double set triggers...needs a set screw...

Neat rifle for sure.

Have one of your kids from school do it.

No pics? Sounds like a great piece of history!

Full stocked rifle in the picture is my newest one.
The half stocked rifle is also from the same era

Well Andy, you can start a thread to address your problems and maybe make it easier for everyone. You are a "Staff Member" after all.
