Hawken Style Black Powder Rifle 54 Cal - Made in Italy

This rifle has no makers marks other than a tiny Italian Proof Mark on left side of receiver.

Nice case hardened finish to side lock plate.

The earliest known record of a Hawken rifle dates back to 1823 when one was custom made for
William Henry Ashley, a gun powder manufacturer turned fur trader, who used it in his expeditions up
the Missouri river to the interior of the Western United States.

This one is in very good overall condition. It is missing the Percussion Cap Nipple.

One peice hardwood stock has some little marks and dents but no cracks. Finish is still very good.

Metal surfaces are good as is Bore on the 33 inch long barrel.
