Unsigned Jaeger displayed at CLA Show in 2008

This rifle appeared to be unsigned except for the barrel marks of TOAN over SCH under a crown. If you recognize these marks please let me know so I can add the information.
[Since this was first posted some folks have said it could be made in southern Germany or Austria.]


This shade of blue-grey is very close to the small patches of charcoal bluing seen on the underside of some 18th-century American longrifle barrels.



Notice that the screws in the guard, butt piece, side plate, and tang are all aligned with the axis of the bore.
