Rifle with percussion lock marked W.B. full stock of curly maple, brass mountings, silver inlays, and octagonal barrel marked W.B. for William Border. The curl in this stock is an unusual example of wood selection. The carved pattern on the cheek side is different from the traditional style of the Bedford gunsmiths.
