Post; Identifying this old rifle ?


Well I recently bought this gun from an antique store. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about it

Anyway, I was trying to identify it, you know, its model, maker, etc..

Its a percussion cap rifle/musket. The year "1857" is written on it.

There are a few inscriptions (see photos 6a, 7a, and 8a), but they didn't help me much.

I uploaded 8 pictures to my photo gallery:
