White would probably be about the best investment if you can find them cheap.

Do you think that modern ML firearms have any investment value?

As in Doc White?
I believe gold will give you a better return on investment than a factory built muzzleloading gun.

Specialty, semi-custom-made guns like a Shiloh Sharps may appreciate in value.
You never know what will be collectible in the future, though.

Correct
Speaking from 6+decades as a former custom builder, competitive shooter & avid collector of antique firearms, yes these can be a very good investments if your experienced with shooting antique firearms.
If not well experienced in collecting & shooting, buy from a trusted source or get advice from someone who is qualified.
** I Personally do not shoot antique firearms that are in mint condition, those get sold to collectors who just display them.
Bottom line, the decades of thrills wife & I have had at rendezvous, hunting, & competing with historical firearms far exceeds any thrills I've had over making a fast buck.
*I do not recommend any of the above to those who are not prepared to provide meticulous care of historical firearms for the next generation to enjoy.

guns are like silver, it is a way to hold value but not a good way to make money
a TC Hawken in good condition will always have value, but it will never really become such a hot item that it increases in value
