Here is a nice rendition of a .54cal Harper's Ferry flintlock rifle. Made from Rifle Shoppe parts and signed in the barrel channel "made for Peter Schmidt by P. Olanie". Over the years I have seen a few guns by this maker but have not been able to learn anything about him. I would place the quality of workmanship at a 7.5 with a 5 being a talented hobbyist and a 10 being John Bivens. All in-letting is crisp and the lock is smooth and a good sparker. Does not appear to have been shot much. There is some wear to frizzen face the bore is clean and pristine. Metal surfaces are nicely browned. Barrel length is of course 33 in. length of pull is 13&3/4in.
I am asking $1325 which includes shipping anywhere in the CONUS it is legal to ship to.
