Hey all, New user, first post! I picked up an old muzzleloader rifle, not sure what caliber exactly, looks just short a .50 cal. It was handed down from a father, and now passed on to me. The previous owner did not shoot it, but recalls it being quite accurate when his father used to shoot it. I am in no rush to go out and shoot it, I want to assure it's safe. It is in great condition, aside from needing polishing, and minor blue n rust removal. I have detailed pictures of the firearm, and on the lock you can read the name. It doesnt make any sense to me what make it is, and I am having a hard time figuring it out. It seems to say "G Gout Cher". It almost looks like Cabela's traditional Hawkins Percussion Rifle. Since I am a Noob, I hope my pictures went through. Any information or suggestions on anything about the firearm please let me know. Thanks for your time
