Appears to be in decent condition. The base price is $850. Reasonable? Thanks

Full-length photo?
Rifled or smoothbore?

Smoothbore

Yes, good price if the bore is in good shape and lock functions well. They go for north of $1700 new these days.

I sent the seller a question about lock function. No answer, he's like an estate broker, so he probably doesn't know much about it. He has it listed as an "1847" Harpers Ferry, which is actually the fictitious manufacture date.

I'd buy it at that price. Based on the condition shown in the photo, it's hard to believe it's been fired a lot and that there would be lock issues. I'd be more concerned about the bore condition if someone shot it then didn't clean it for a long time and there was a lot of rust and pitting.

Doubt don't buy. If you do, please post your dissatisfaction. But I am sure you will. [sarcasm/off]
