Default What Brand of Flintlock is this?

I inherited this 50 cal flintlock from my wife's uncle when he died well over 30 years ago. There is no brand name on the barrel, only a big capital I inside a box, black powder only and made in Italy below that and a serial number and proof marks. I have killed deer with it, it is a nice gun with pretty wood and furniture. These pictures are not good due to reflection from the barrel but maybe someone has an idea who made it.

Investarms hawken. Cabelas and dixie gunworks still sell them. Basically the folks that make the rifles for lyman.
