Please tell me a little more about this rifle

[Jay04WRX]

Ok so my grandfather passed down to me this 1832 flintlock muzzleloading rifle. I know its a model 1819 Hall U.S. breech loading rifle, .52 cal but I do not know what its worth. I understand it is in great condition and I have no plans on selling it. I would like to know if anyone know any history behind it or what it may be worth. I want to hang it up in a case and clean it up a little but my friend who worked at a gun store stated dont touch it just whipe it down to get the hand oils off of it.

Please also if you can let me know any details on the swords I post and or their history as I know little about them, thank you,


Jay

Your friend is right, don't clean that rifle. Just give it a coat of oil on the metal and maybe a light wax job on the wood.
Value? Is it still flint?

If you'll look in the "flintlock" section you will find photos and discussion of this rifle.
