It was made by Great Western Gun Works in PA. From what I can find it could be as new as the 1920's or as old as the 1860's. I was in pretty rough shape when I got it. I could have cleaned it up myself but without knowing if it was safe or not. So I took it to a local gunshop who sent it out to their smith who refinished and test fired it.
