[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 213416, member: 23"]Springfield is a cannon expert, but I think he knows a bit about firearms, too. The only thing that bothers me is that weird oblong on the side with random blobs. With all the silver inlay, that part should have a well-crafted picture of something. I had an 18th century Danish dragoons flintlock and took it to several people who misidentified it until a friend of mine who is a collector contacted an expert in Texas. Two different gun shop guys told me it was a repro and tried to buy it for $300. The only way you'll be able to tell for sure is if a real collector looks at it in person.[/QUOTE]
