Does anyone have a clue what this is?

So, my father-in-law has this old ML laying around... I never saw a rifle with the percussion cap and hammer underneath. No forestock... Nothing engraved on it anywhere. No names, no initials, just nothing. Looks to be a .45

It appears to be an original under hammer muzzleloader, can't tell the make of yours but I remember seeing replica rifles and pistols of that design for sale when the muzzleloading craze first started taking hold 40 or 50 years ago. I believe Navy Arms sold some under hammer firearms made by Hopkins & Allen. It is a neat old piece for sure.

I found a photo of a replica Hopkins & Allen and posted it below
