SOLD Bess commerative

[OldSmoky1967]

There is no doubt about it being a Pedersoli. The only question is whether Pedersoli added the plaques or were they done by some importer. That gun is mint and with some nice wood too.

It is a pretty gun; but, the wood is wrong. I have an original and it looks totally different. Mine has an oiled finish, I think it was linseed cooked with lead to achieve the color back in the day. That being said, this is a commemorative gun. As such, it is a great display piece. Nice.

What a pity the touch hole is in the Wrong place..

My original Bess has the touch hole in the same place, only mine is about 2mm to the rear and it works just fine. I shoot it a lot.

The one on my Pedersoli Bess is in the exact same location and it has never given any problems (delay, FTF) since 1978. Way too much emphasis placed on touch hole location.

My original Bess is the same way. Absolutely zero problems igniting the main charge.
