Yeah AaronN, I thought it was kind of pricey too, even considering the amount of deep relief engraving. We see the same thing with ornately engraved German and other Continental shotguns, simply because the number of collectors is too small to create the demand that translates to high prices.

But I can just imagine what it would cost to have a gunmaker duplicate that work today. Anyway, I do appreciate the information and photos you guys post about pinfires. It is an interesting part of the evolution of firearms.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
