Hello. While searching around a local shop I found this rifle. I cannot identify it, and I am curious if it is worth the asking price? (225)
I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I was in a rush.


Thank you.

Sorry, but I can't tell much from your photographs. It appears to be a military arm, and NOT American. However, something about it just does not look right to me.
We need good photos of any and all names, numbers, and proof marks that may be stamped on it. What condition is the bore? Rifled or smoothbore? What caliber?

From what I can see in the background, that looks like an interesting shop.

I think it’s a Swedish or Norwegian or danish military rifle. I’m not up on studying them though. $225?!?! GO RIGHT NOW AND GET IT!!!!!

Also think it's Danish/Norwegian musket, could be a 1769 converted to percussion. Barrel and lock have matching numbers and looks to be in good shape.

That rifle looks like a deal @225 from what I can see.
That shop sure has a lot of nice old Stanleys too I see. But the price tags I see on them seem way over the top. Its funny he’d price the rifle cheap.

The owner of the shop probably doesn’t know about values of antique guns. They err on the side of caution here and an old beat up double with missing hammers is stamped “CSA” a priced at $5000…..
