Hello MuzzleloadingForum!
I hope I am posting in the correct location. I have stumbled across this nice forum after googling information on this firearm.
I acquired this firearm with little-to-no knowledge of these types of pieces. I do work for property managers to clean out units and anything I find I can keep. The original owner(s) are now deceased sadly and no known family, or I would strongly consider passing this beautiful piece down.
As far as I can tell, besides a forum like this one, there is not much information if any on this piece. I am not specifically inquiring about the value, but any information to this firearm you are kind enough to provide. It seems to be a high end replica made in 1989 by John S. Brooks. The original owner may have had initials engraved on the handle, I do not get access to names or anything like that so its only a guess. It seems to be unfired but Im not an expert. All I can tell is that the craftsmanship is off the charts and Id like to appreciate this piece as much as possible!
I have to admit, the $3000 price tag on it interested me, and I can only assume that it was sold at a gun show. Im not sure if it may have gone up or down in value since it was originally purchased. That is quite a sum of money to me, and If I do decide to sell I will go through the correct avenues of the forum, become a paid member and set a fair price on the classifieds. I would not mind keeping the firearm but I might think it would be better enjoyed in the hands of an enthusiast. Even if I did get into the hobby that might be too expensive of an entry level piece for me.
Let me know if you have any questions and I can try to look for the information you need.
Thank you so much for reading and offering any insight, I hope you have a great day! See the pictures attached
