How much is a Italian made .58 cal Antonio zoli 1861 model loader worth. This musket I,m gusting was made in the 1960,s or 70,s.
Bore is good & stock average.

Those replicas sell for anything from $150--$350 on internet auction sites, depending on condition. The Italian proof markings on the barrel will have a two-letter date code for manufacture.

I kind of thought that. Are they good shooters? Also where they every made back in the day?

Fly, I have seen many on the NSSA firing line and they can be made to shoot quite well. You will almost certainly need a higher front site. Some of the early lock parts can be hard to find. I have just moved to NC and my library is in storage. From memory around 5000 were made in 1865. There is some doubt they were ever issued. Nevertheless they are approved for NSSA competition.

Fly, I may need to correct myself. I was thinking the Remington Zuove, which was a loose copy of the US m1841 Mississippi rifle. But I don't think there were any other repros at the time. The first add I saw wanted $75 for one.
