PH musketoon value?/sale

[charger 1]

Well first I'm going to ask you guys to value it, then I'm going to put it up for sale. My little PH musketoon ,although very pretty and real accurate will surely become a dust collector now that I have a cartridge enfield. So I havent made up my mind weather to include molds etc, so lets just take it as valuing the gun for now..Opinions please. Please no silliness,,,,or minimal amounts
PS>>>PEACH OF A BORE

Those musketoons in good used shape sell for about $450.00 in my area-SW Virginia...

The Parker Hale artillery Carbines are fetching over here in australia in VGC over 1000.00 Aus or about 950.00US
Sometimes you can pick them up for 500.00 but usually between 650 - 800 for gc.
Personally I would keep it oiled and in the safe for a few more years as it will only appreciate in value.
Yes I have one too :-D

Having taken shooter 575's advice I dont think I'll roll it for 450 anytime soon

--------------------------------------------------

Blueing has been removed. The previous owner imbedded a half dollar size brass Canadian coin in buttstock...easily removed.

Good shooter.

$450, plus shipping.

airgo me thinks mine should fetch more. If I put it up I think we'll start at 6 bills. Thanks all

The original Parker-Hale Enfields are on a totally-different level of quality from ANY other replica firearm I've ever seen.

I bought a NIB P-H Musketoon myself, about 25 years ago. At some later time, to my lasting regret, I sold it for $500, which was a bit less than I'd paid for it.

The P-H Enfield replicas were built with the ORIGINAL production gauges, borrowed from the Tower of London for the purpose. The wood was very nice walnut, and the rifles were simply without equal then (or now, come to think of it.)

I believe the mentioned price of $900-plus is fair for a P-H replica in excellent condition. I'd like to find one of their M1853 3-band rifles....

Charger 1,
I was not meaning to insult nobody,and I wasn't making an offer!
You asked what do these normally sell for and I said "in my area".
I apologize if I offended any of you on this.
I am more knowledgeable on earlier flintlocks and such,but the War between the States weapons is not my strong suit,although I have a Uberti 1862 Pocket Navy that I keep just to shoot.

..............The original P-H made replicas have almost achieved collector status vs something to shoot. The P-H Whitworths HAVE been collectors items for some time if they have all the original doo-dads P-H supplied with them. I've seen a couple of those accessory kits by themselves go on E-Bay for a tad over $300.

The thing with the P-H M/L is the first ones were mad 100% in UK.The 2nd generation were assembeled in Italy with UK barrels and Italian parts.The 3rd gen are all Italian. They all say
