For those of you interested in American guns/ rifles, There is a Tonks percussion target/ snipers rifle at Cabellas in Scarborough.
It is cased with false muzzel, bullet starter, mold, and unusual Tonks marked full length scope. Neat!
All the best,
Mal

Good luck,

Maybe a bit pricey, but not when you consider condition [nearly all case color on lock and brown on barrel], completness [all bits in their French fitted compartments] and the original case [a bit tattered]. The rifle is of large caliber .50 I think; and posibly made during the Civil War. I'm not sure of Tonks' working dates, but this rifle looks like many "Picket" rifles of the era. The Tonks marked scope is a new one on me; Most of these early scopes are by Malcolm, or unmarked. Quality is of course "first rate".

There is an article in Double Gun Journal Vol 11 Issue 1 on Tonks and some of
his shotguns. My Shotgun addiction is bad enough-have to stay focused
