These were given to my father by my great grandfather. My great grandfather's father gave them to him (confused yet?) My great grandfather was born in 1893.
Len, my father's mind is slipping, and I know he told me in the past the years they're from, but I didn't pay enough attention. He told me the rifle was used by men on the locomotives to shoot the bison on the tracks. The muskets? Don't recall. The one on the right is a double hammer. The original rope that held the powder is included with the one on the left. Hopefully you can shed some light on to these!
