Description:
The Double set Trigger assembly is the type used by William H Soper on other known
examples.
The "GTON" marking on the barrel is possibly from George Remington who was an early gunsmith working in Rome NY, and Dubuque Iowa before partnering with William H. Soper in California.
William H Soper (1814-1888) worked as a gunmaker in London, Ontario (Canada) from circa 1858-1875 before moving to California and working in San Francisco, San Luis Obispo and Eureka. He worked for Liddle & Reading in San Francisco circa 1876 before working on his own and in a partnership with George Remington in San Luis Obispo circa 1879-1882. While Soper's conventional plains rifles are occasionally found for sale, a "Hawken-style" Spencer action Plains Rifle is a real rarity.
