wonder if its the same Brander of Brander & Potts in England early 19th and during Napoleonic campaigns. Looks like a trade quality postol.

I think this is relatively new, The stock appears to be beech and I know of no original with the butt-section shaped like this. The lock is very crudely made with modern bent form of feather spring.
It reminds me strongly of some of the offerings being produced in the 1960's before reproduction muzzleloaders were made with any degree of authenticity. Please pardon this somewhat blunt assesment, but can only say how it appears to me. :-) I could elaborate further, but think I have made my case. With very best wishes, Richard. |

Agree with you Pukka! I found out also that it is a repro, meant for target shooting with black powder. Thank you for giving me the doubt!

You are most welcome Valjhun.
I dislike being the bearer of bad news, but would rather do so before a purchase is made, than afterwards! |
