Horace E. Dimick was a gunmaker and gun dealer in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1849 into the early 1870s and ran a "Western Emporium" where he sold a variety of goods. "H. E. DIMICK ST. LOUIS" is marked ahead of the elevation adjustable sporting style rear sight. The lock is setup for full-cock only and is unmarked aside from some scroll designs on the hammer. The muzzle is turned down to round for use with a fitted starter (not included), and the rifle also features a dovetailed German silver blade front sight, hole in the upper tang for mounting a peep sight (not included), double set triggers, and a smooth walnut half-stock with a pewter forend cap and iron furniture, including a patchbox and a spurred iron trigger guard.
