I recently came into possession of a couple antique percussion rifles but know nothing about them. I am curious to learn any history/information surrounding the guns that can be derived from their markings.
This is rifle 2 of 2 - The steel plate, which is believe is called the “lock” (bear with me, I’m new to this world) is stamped “LEMAN” on top and below that is stamped “LANCRT.PA”
This rifle seems to have been in an accident at one point in time and the stock damaged badly, however, it was repaired.
The end of the barrel is stamped all the way around with a star symbol that looks much like the * text symbol.
Again, if anyone can shed some light/history on this new piece of mine I would be very grateful to learn more about it.
Here is a link to view the photos online: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eipswtwm4q3fxzh/AAAq9c0LjHnoyZiSPZQ9GERna?dl=0
