Look for a used one. Right now Dixie Gunworks is asking 1300.00 for an Italian made Bess. I believe Cabela's is over 1000.00 as well. They usually pop up on the boards for 8-900.00 used in excellent condition.
 
Thanks for the information. It seems like I almost never see a used one for sale. Maybe I should hang out on a Revolutionary War discussion board or two, as someone suggested.
 
Bon giorno, Davide. Yeah, it's me, Cabela's. Good. You? Great!

Hey, I was wondering, how many Bess' would I have to buy at once to get a 20% discount?
That many... OK, how much lead time would you need to get them here?
Three weeks you say. Can I let you know in a month!?
Yes, I know they're not even rifled...
Cool -- it's a deal.
No, no problem -- if I don't sell them in advance I'll just cancel the orders!
No, not the ORDER with you, the orders with MY customers.
Oh, well, I was thinking "$999.00" Whadya think?
"Not rifled," yes, you already reminded me of that Davide. But they ARE sonny bono and people buy 'em, so...
What? Isn't that I-Talian for beautiful?
No!?
Sorry. Have a good night Davide.
