Depending on the rifle, it may not be possible. Modern reproduction rifles are usually marked with the makers name. However, earlier authentic antique rifles may not carry a maker's name, and may have only a proof mark. Identification will usually start with recognition of the shape and style of rifle, proof marks if European (the US does not have government proof houses) markings on the lock, and markings traditional to a given maker or region of the country. It is as much an art as it is a science.
