Vintage muzzle loaders…
Does anyone have a really good source for verification of civil war era rifles and carbines? I just ‘won’ an auction for what I think may be a very rare carbine and would like to verify if it is what I think it is. I’ll have a better idea once I get it in hand but assuming it passes my slightly experienced sniff te$t, I’d like to know for certain if it’s is indeed a $300 repro or a $15,000 original! Daddy may be getting either a fun new shooter or a new boat depending!
