I have a original 1840s not shure on the age the gentleman I purchased it said it was pretty civil war I'm not shure. It came from a guy who's friend was a gunsmith and unfortunately he passed away I purchased it from the estate. It's in very good if not great shape. I'm asking 900.00 for it plusses shipping The barrels are steel and have no dents it is untouched. I removed the nipples to prevent them from rusting in.
