.45 caliber, 35.25" heavy octagonal barrel. Brown finish, brass furniture, straight gripped plain walnut stock with single key and pewter forend cap. Back action percussion lock marked NEFF WANTON & CO / WARRANTED, double set triggers. Barrel with drum bolster, and marked SWEITZER on top flat. These marks suggest the rifle is of Ohio origin, as "Neff" was probably Peter Neff, who worked in Cincinnati, ca 181836-1868 as a lock maker and importer and "Sweitzer" is probably John Sweitzer, who was making percussion rifles in Greenville, OH ca 1850-1860. Buckhorn rear sight, dovetailed front sight blade. Wood ramrod secured by two iron thimbles and brass entry pipe.
