Nice piece. I bought a similar piece about 25 years ago and it was my first indian riflle . I still have it. These generally range from about 1750-1870. You do not see them often and yours does seem to be complete. What is the caliber ? does it have the copper site at the end of the barrell? As stupid as it sounds I acutually fired mine a few times at the range. I am happy it did not blow up on me and never hit anything with it. odd delay between lowering the lit cord into the powder and it actually firing. What we do when we are young is not allways very intelligent. I will take some pics of my original one if I do not get home to late tomorrow.Mine has a twist barrell but very similar I also have some painted examples with the same form.
