The scroll engraved lock plate is marked "CONESTOGA/RIFLE WORKS" ahead of the hammer. The top barrel flat is twice marked "W. BODENHEIMER" behind the rear sight. According to renowned firearms expert Frank Sellers in the book AMERICAN GUNSMITHS, there were two individuals named William Bodenheimer (senior and junior) who operated out of Lancaster, Ohio (see page 32). Sellers also notes that Conestoga Rifle Works of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was the trade name used by Henry Leman (see page 65). The rifle is equipped with a blade front sight, a fixed notch rear sight and double set triggers. The breech plug and barrel tang have a light scroll engraving and an inlaid band is featured on the barrel at the breech. The barrel also has an iron under rib with iron ramrod pipes holding a wooden ramrod. Both sides of the buttstock have a raised scroll carving that terminates in a raised inlaid German silver circle. Two engraved German silver inlays flank the inlaid circle, again on both sides of the buttstock. The reverse plate is also German silver and is engraved. The half stock has two barrel wedges with German silver escutcheons and a pewter forend cap. The trigger guard and crescent buttplate are brass.
