Not an easy shot. What's the details on that rifle? NT

Ohio style, 13/16ths .45 caliber 44 inch Douglas barrel. Davis percussion squirrel lock, 35 grains of 3f Swiss and a .445 Lyman round ball patched in .021 inch canvas. Unknown maker but whoever it was really did a fine job on the wood and engraving.
I rescued it from a pawn shop and re-breeched it by making a chambered breech since the barrel walls are so thin. I had to bed the barrel at the rear and at each tenon and replace the sights. That is the best looking piece of tiger maple I have ever saw.
