The seller on this auction is advertising this pistol as an 1800's British Dragoon - Question Mark ? Obviously, to me, this is one of the many replicas from Mirouku in Japan and sold by the hundreds during the 1960's and 70's. The "Made in Japan" stamp may have been removed from the barrel sometime in the past. Of course, an original Dragoon would easily fetch the opening bid price, and probably more. I'm thinking this may not be a case of the seller attempting fraud. It's simply a case of a dealer in primarily modern guns being unfamiliar with earlier black powder arms, original or replica. What do you all think ?
I sent the seller an email politely advising him of the replica status. No word back.
