1st item: Full stock percussion rifle, iron hardware, possibly southern; 46" octagonal rifled barrel, double set triggers, front and rear sights, old drum conversion; .41 cal., Overall 61 1/2"L bbl 46" L.

Note: Walter Matson Cline (1873-1941) was a Chattanooga, TN, photographer and preeminent historian and collector of muzzle-loading firearms. His book "the Muzzle-Loading Rifle Then and Now" became the authority on the history of black powder firearms when it was published in 1942, shortly after his death. The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, of which Cline was an early member, is headquartered in Friendship, IN, and is home to the Walter Cline shooting range. As both of these are antique black powder firearms, no FFL is necessary.
