Rare & unique 86 for sure. I wouldn’t think a musket would be presented directly to the owner as mentioned in the description. Maybe an engraved deluxe or a 1 of 1000 etc. Weren’t musket’s more of a military configuration or for law enforcement, not “necessarily” a hunting gun. For this kind of money of money I want a letter.

Rick,

We discussed this so called Musket here on the forum several weeks ago.  There are several issues with it, most notably the “Rifle” butt stock and non-factory rear sling mount.  It does not qualify as “rare” or “unique” in my opinion.

I missed that thread Bert. Probably because it was out of my price point but still interesting. I agree with your opinion.
