My dad showed me a Musket rifle today. And I took the name and number off of it to see if it's a Replica or real but I cannot find anything about it so I thought I would see if anyone here knows anything about it. :)

On the rifle it's marked with the Name Mendi. It's a .45 Cal and it's made in Spain. It also has a symbol inside a circle, looks like an "E" but laying down and the middle line looks like the butt of a rifle.

Thanks for looking and I hope Everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving. :)

Connecticut Valley Arms / CVA imported a bunch of these rifles, both assembled and as kits; did it look like this one?

It looked pretty close to that one but the wood went almost all the way to the end of the barrel.

Next time I'm there I will bring my camera and post a photo of it. :)

I'll probably go down there this weekend to hunt for civil war bullets and maybe other treasures. lol...
