Need help identifying a SIG muzzleloader

[BooneOrvis]

This one has me baffled. I can't find any comps on the internet. Apparently SIG did not make many muzzleloaders, but of the ones I found, this is different.

Maybe a prototype..?

Thanks for your help with this.

"Struve-Reardon Gevar" SrG

See if that matches what you have?

Looks like it could be a Swiss pattern 1842 Rifled Musket...or one of its variants....
The trigger guard and lock plate don't quite match the 1842 Model.
That said...changes were done to this model over the years...and it could even be a private purchase variant.

The trigger guard matches those found the 1851 / 1856 models of this Rifled Musket...as does the lock plate.
So I would guess that it is a later Swiss variant of the original 1842 Rifled Musket.

Thanks, Andy......! I will check that out and see if I can find a match.

I'm also checking out the "Struve-Reardon Gevar" SrG too. The gun was made in Schaffhausen I believe, where SIG had a factory.?

More research needed....thanks..!

@BooneOrvis
You are very welcome...if nothing else maybe I got you pointed on the right trail....
Something to consider here...is that SIG may have only made the barrel...and not the whole gun.

That's very possible. There is a SIG museum in New Hampshire and I might send them a note to see if they have seen my version of their gun.

Thanks, again...!

What is the bore size?

Not sure. I gotta get into my measuring tools and check it out. Thanks.
