I found a fairly nice Pedersoli Brown Bess for $276.25. I am assuming 70/80' vintage.
Got the serial number - is there an easy way to find the year?
Stupid Question - should I buy it?
Wanted a flintlock, and it is military, and a very good brand, and...
Wood needs a refinish - but no really bad nicks or 'divets'.
Steel - some rust - not really a 'patina' type. I would bring the metal back to white.
Bore - no light today - but ran the ramrod down (no ball) and it ran smoothly down the bore - not going over speed bumps.
After looking at my pictures (and finding the Pedersoli stamp...) I want it bad....
If I did buy it, have to buy a mold and flints and up my supply of 2F.....and bore brushes...
Sorry, just had to crow a little....
