Looks like a US 1841 to me.

I agree it looks like a 1841

 

[Jobe Holiday]

Yes, it is from a Model 1841 Rifle, aka a "Mississippi Rifle."

Is that a cut off tang screw sticking up out of it? It's in the right place for a tang screw.

Here's one from a Robbins & Lawrence made Mississippi rifle that shows the distinctive design of these trigger guard.

The M1841 nuts have spoken... ok so maybe I'm the only M1841 nut here. It is a nice M1841 trigger guard assembly and not one of the Italian repops either.

Johan, count me in as a "M-1841 Enthusiast"! The last time I spoke with a well known Mississippi collector he figured there were at least 60 variants of the Model 1841 Rifle. He also promised to write a book on them, too. But, that was a long time ago and at this late date it doesn't look like that will ever happen now.
