This is an extremely well crafted, half stock Southern Rifle. made in Richmond, Virginia, in about .36 caliber.  It is German silver mounted, patent breech with a checkered wrist.  It is superbly made and engraved.  Someone has meticulously cleaned this gun and tried their hand at coloring the barrel.  But they didn't hurt it.  The set triggers function crisply and the bore is really nice.  The ramrod is original and retains the faint image of the original candy stripe.   The lock, hammer, breech, and mountings are beautifully engraved.  The barrel and lock are both marked T. W. Tignor.  A truly handsome Southern Rifle manufactured in the 1840 to 1850 time frame.  Price $3,750.  Price Reduced $3,250!!
