I prefer a borescope, but many seem to like the thill Bobber Light. Arrow nock lights can also workThanks all. I am going to look the guns over this weekend and go from thier.
Anyone have a recommendation on a drop down the barrel bore light?
I agree. I work part-time in a gun store. We can sell inline muzzleloaders relatively easy during deer gun season. There is a small market for traditional muzzleloaders in our area.Gun store appraisals are different than gun store offers. Many appraisals are for insurance policies which will be high (similar to jewelry appraisals for insurance). Dealers have to buy low to make a profit, so their offers will be lower than appraisals.
I've sold quite a few guns for widows, never took a nickel, with only one question - do you want money fast or hold on for the highest price? Several had no idea what they had and the departed left no list/value. Bottom line is - they were worth what someone was willing to pay at the time.
It's been my experience that traditional M/L's are harder to move at gunshows and are not highly coveted items at auctions around here.
You are advised to see if any accessories, supplies are available as well.
This! I’d say the Hawkens would make fine hunting rifles, but that depends on the quality of the build.The price on kit guns will depend a lot on how good of job the builder did.
Go to gunbroker and look at COMPLETED auctions. Guns that actually sold. That will give you an idea on what the market is.

I had the same pistol, same markings. I could never find out the maker but someone suggested it might be an ASMSo need some help with this one. Who made it? These are the only markings other than serial number.

Hard to tell from your photographs. Better lighting and highlighting the stamps would make it easier for others to help you. All you need is a piece of old chalkboard chalk like they used when many of us were in school to bring out the engraving. Both the following photographs were taken at about the same distance with the same camera and lighting (handheld, so slight difference). Difference is that before the second photograph chalk was rubbed into the engraving. Believe you can see that one is significantly easier to read than the other. No other adjustments or funny business between the two photographs.So need some help with this one. Who made it? These are the only markings other than serial number.

Good God, the man can't even spell Pedersoli.So here is the appraisal for the guns. The hawkens and 32 flint seem at least $150-$200 to hight compared to what I see them sell for…. The others I’m not sure of. View attachment 92213
