Just thought I'd show a couple of pics of this "ole girl" I picked up this summer. It's a 45 caliber made by Felix Settle of Barren County Kentucky. The lock is marked as such. The barrel is also marked Felix Settle. I don't know the year it was made. There is a small number "69" stamped into the left side of the stock but I don't know if that has anything to do with the year made. It has a steel ram rod so I doubt it's original to the gun. Apparently the Settles were a well know family of rifle makers back in the day. I was told by the fellow I got it from that it belonged to a trapper up in Northern Manitoba but who knows if that's true. It is a mystery how it ended up in Manitoba though.
