Pedersoli question?

[TennesseeJed]

A guy at a gun show has what he calls a
"Davide Pedersoli" flintlock? The barrel was marked Ardesa Spain and didn't have the Pedersoli logo. Does or did Pedersoli use Spanish barrels?

 

[hanshi]

Pedersoli guns are ITALIAN, not Spanish. Either he is mislead or he is trying to mislead you. It could also be a "Frankengun" built from miscellaneous parts.

I agree with hanshi. It seems you know more about that rifle fhan the owner does :haha: . Stay clear of both :v .

As far as I know Pedersoli is 100% Italian.

What does he want for the Ardessa gun? What's the condition and how does it spark? Point out that it's a cheaper gun, maybe you can get a deal.

I don't think he knew what he had, but I wasn't completely sure myself. The rifle didn't have a brand or model name on it, just Ardesa, Spain. I'm guessing it's a Traditions Pennsylvania. He wanted 650.

Too high priced for traditions! :idunno:

For $650, you should get five Traditions!
Your vendor is "BADLY MISLED"
For that kind of money you could get almost two Lyman rifles.

For 200 more he could get a Chambers kit

"... and didn't have the Pedersoli logo ..."

Bingo! This answered your own question.

All Pedersoli guns that I have seen are clearly marked Pedersoli, along with Italian proof marks and date marks.

Ardesa is a Spanish company that makes guns that are often sold under other names.

Over on the percussion forum, there is a discussion about Ardesa barrels. The title of the post is: I didn't need this. Hope this helps you.
