Beautiful rifle. If it was a flintlock my money would already be on its way. Good luck.

Nice looking rifle, I'm kinda surprised the maker went with one oddball escutcheon on the forearm. It's not bad looking just different.

Mystical symbolism, perhaps. Or maybe he just likes to fish. LOL .

Photos showing crack. Stable. Hard to make move. Easy fix with drill and pin from inside lock mortice. I would do it, but buyer initially said he would take discount. I boxed it up like King Tut and he cganged his mind. Really don't want to unbox this.
