Got this one a while back.

I would not recommend firing this one or fixing it. Lock would need a lot of work. 

No ramrod. I have heard that Natives of the plains wouldn't really use ramrods, not sure if this came from the plains though.

Touch hole has been enlarged. I have heard this is to allow for the gun to be shaken allowing for some of the main charge to go through the larger touch hole into the pan primming it.

Barrel has been shortened and rawhide has been wrapped around it. 

I believe this to be made 1825 or earlier before King George's death but not for sure on that.
