So I live about an hour from Gettysburg battlefield. I took my wife out for her birthday. Then we walked through some shops. I was surprised at the amount of original weapons for sale there. The cheapest I seen was 450. For a double barrel shotgun (decent shape) and the most expensive was about 4000. Attached is a picture I took of a gun I want to research. If you ever get a chance walk through the shops there are some gems there. The middle gun on the picture had a price of 1700.ish. I won't say anything about the top or bottom since it may go against something we don't talk about. Not sure so if it does and the post needs to be removed I understand.
Edit. Just to add that I was surprised to see 3 or 4 underhammers there. All had "coach guns" on the hanging for sale tag.

I've been to the Gettysburg battlefield and the town many times and every time I go it brings tears to my eyes and makes me sad. It's a very emotional - moving place to visit :thumb:.
 
Ive always wanted to go. My dad was on a business trip for Fleetwood in Canada when 9/11 happened, they couldn't fly home (California) so Fleetwood gave them a motorhome to take back. They made a trip out of it and Gettysburg was one stop. I was envious of the trip all the guys were history lovers so they made the most out of it. All paid by Fleetwood
 
The first Joslyn carbine used a paper cartridge with an external cap, so you CAN talk about them.
 
My wife and I went there last year, certainly some interesting stuff for sale. We purchased a few small things from the local shops. The local Library had a book sale, but I think my favorite shop was the ice cream shop, waffle cone and 2 scoops of butter pecan!
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. 😁
 
I try to visit Dirty Billy's Hats when I make it to Gettysburg. I was disappointed in the new Visitors Center that was built a few years back.
 
I been there once and had a hard time imagining all the carnage. Somebody had to be really mad about something and not about what somebody else owned.

Tough to beat in hot weather.
 
I've got the itch to go again. I only live a couple hours from there. I could spend the whole day in the museum.
