I can't tell if the Dragoon Musket on Gunbroker item number 743775126 (can't get the link to work) is a well made copy, or was the previous owner actually shooting an original?
It looks very well used, and the marks on the barrel look pretty good in the photographs..., although the photos of the barrel marks aren't close up enough for me...,
BUT I noticed that there is a brass, flash guard, commonly used by reenactors, on the lock, and I don't think those are original equipment. :shocked2:
SO..., I wonder if this was a very well made and well "antiqued" repro..., and the seller has no real clue about the musket (keeps referring to it as a "rifle" btw)..., or maybe the previous owner shot blanks out of it as an original and added the flash guard to comply with some site's safety rules?
