Please help me identify my family heirloom.
Most any attempt to restore will ruin value. It would take a museum level advanced knowledge restorer to do anything that would not devalue that piece. Cherish it and preserve it for posterity.- zimmerstutzen

Some real old prices

No, you can't ship black powder pistols or handguns via the USPS.
Again, the hassle comes between the definition of handgun in federal criminal statutes and the definition of handgun under a totally different Postal regulation. Don't automatically assume that one controls the other. Just as states often have different definitions of handguns and antiques...- zimmerstutzen

A pair of biguns
I thought the 10 gauge limit was for everything, I checked the law and regs and indeed I was wrong. Although, flinging such a huge ball of lead for deer seems like it would hurt. I have a 1 inch bore smooth bore partially completed. Seems I may be able to hunt with it, although I doubt I...- zimmerstutzen

I was using a brass muzzle protector on a Garret Sharps reproduction at a match. I accidentally let the brass muzzle protector slide down the ram rod and strike the muzzle and it dented the mild steel crown of the rifle. The brass muzzle protector very much damaged the muzzle of the barrel...- zimmerstutzen

I said hardened brass is harder than some steel. NOT brass vs steel in general. I can dent a mild steel muzzle loader barrel with a piece of hard brass. Money where you mouth is? (I have already done it by accident)- zimmerstutzen
