This is one of the classic American firearms of the Old West: a Henry Leman "Indian rifle" or "trade rifle." Leman's factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, produced large quantities of rifles and smoothbore trade guns for the Indian and western trade in the mid-19th century. These rifles were used by hunters and warriors of various Native American nations in the latter half of the 19th century, and many settlers and western hunters also carried Leman rifles. The rifle has traditional dovetailed blade and notch sights, "LEMAN/LANCASTER PA" and "WARRANTED" on top of the barrel, "LEMAN/LANCTR.PA" on the lock, primarily brass furniture, iron buttplate, Leman's distinctive applied striped "figure" on the maple stock, and old rawhide wraps around the barrel and wrist. The stock just ahead of the trigger guard finial has a small unidentified "193-AC" collection number in white.
