What price can you get it for? I would love to run across one of those myself. Check it out real well. You can probably make it a shooter again really easy. If the price seems reasonable to both of you, you'd better grab it. The originals are getting scarce. I have been looking around a lot also.

I hate to think or remember this. In 1967 I had 42 origional long rifles and 60 single shot rifles hanging on my wall. It became necessary to hire a sitter if we went away for any time. One big expensive drag. so I sold all but two. such a wad of cash! sometimes wish I had buried them to have today but the situation would be the same. In those days if wou walked into a barn ,look behind the door, there was a hog rifle ,flints were in the house,had very little value and I had a good job and an understanding wife.Except for the wife ,those days are gone forever.

Go on Auction Arms and Gunbroker and do some searching. On AA, try searching under percussion. It may give you an idea of where to place it. Maybe even narrow down the period. Price always depends on condition.
