I just acquired a new to me Charleville. There is only 1 mark on the frizzen, most likely from the rock someone used. From the patina on the barrel, I would guess it's been hanging on a wall for years. Overall, it's in very good condition. The stock appears to be cherry and I'll be researching refinishing techniques to darken the finish. The ramrod is really tight in the stock. There is a ramrod spring, but it seems like the wood needs a little work so the rod will return easily. The only real issue is the front band spring is snapped in half. Does anyone know if a Pedersoli spring will fit? What other options are there?
