[Eagle Eyes]

Its a 54 Cal BP rifle, full body stock (Kentucky), 35 1/2" barrel, beautiful color and markings, fully operational.

what is the value of this rifle ?

It doesn't read Bill Ihms, it reads Bill Ihm--no "s". It is a modern reproduction, probably from the 1970s and hails from Davey Nebraska. It may have a Shiler lock and Douglas barrel. Can't tell if that stock is curly maple or highly figured birch. Close ups of the lock and markings/undermarkings on the barrel would help. I'm guessing the value is somewhere in the $800-$900 dollar range.
