Thank you so much. What’s the value on something like this?Here's one with 1860 "G. Hume" lockplate that sold at auction in December 2018
A two-band Enfield Rifle, the lock plate stamped TOWER, 1860 and engraved G Hume, Dumfries
Bid Live on Lot 303 in the Antique, Esoteric and Military Auction from Laidlaw Auctioneers & Valuers.www.the-saleroom.com
And an ad in the Glasgow Herald listing G. Hume of Dumfries as a "gunsmith"
View attachment 370705
Glasgow Herald, (Glasgow Scotland), July 13, 1888, page 2.

For me no way to tell from the pics. If it’s in good shooting condition I would call it reasonable but as I only collect shootable ACW arms I would likely pass. As a shootable original it sounds reasonable. If it’s just a wall hanger run away.Is it worth $1100??
