Have a gentleman that is looking to buy one from an older guy who has had the gun for a long time. However he does not know the manufacturer. Does anyone have any ideas as to who did manufacture a 45-70 takedown model? According to the elder gentleman, he has had it for a long time, he is 85 yrs old. Thanks in advance

Winchester mode the Model 1886 in 45-70 and a take down frame. The Model designation is stamped on the upper tang right below the hammer. If there is a folding peep sight mounted there the stamp is covered. Does the rifle look like the image below? The loading gate detail is easy to identify.

Right off hand, I know of:
Winchester and Marlin lever actions.
Harrington & Richardson single shot.
Baikal double express.
