It sounds like a rifle made by the Conestoga Rifle Works, a trade name of Henry Leman, a prominant Lancaster county PA gun maker. Leman was in operation from the mid 1830's to 1887. Check out www.prospector-utah.com/leman.htm for more info on Leman and Conestoga Rifle Works. As far as its value, I don't know, especially without seeing it. Flayderman's might have a ballpark value range.
