I recently came into possession of a couple antique percussion rifles but know nothing about them. I am curious to learn any history/information surrounding the guns that can be derived from their markings.
This is rifle 1 of 2 - The barrel is stamped with the name “A. SELDEN” and below that another name which is very difficult to read, but it appears to be “WHITEHALL”
There does not seem to be any other present markings, and I cannot tell the caliber...I'm not sure if that matters much or not as far as identifying the gun.
If anyone knows anything about this rifle or the names that are stamped on it I would greatly appreciate your replies.
