I am going to concur that platinum vents just aren't usually seen on other than high grade guns. In trying to "look thru the grunge" it appears that you have a good candidate for at the very least a cosmetic restoration. It appears to be more in the used and neglected rather than the used and abused category. If you're planning on shooting this gun I'd suggest trying to find a gunsmith familiar with muzzleloaders so the breechplugs can be pulled for a thorough inspection of the barrels.
