Civil War Percussion muzzleloader

[22x9]

Okay 4v50 , got me thinking just now.

As I posted in another thread:

My Civil War Percussion muzzleloader given to me by my grandfather is mounted over the fireplace.

Anyone know of a GOOD/RELIABLE/TRUSTWORTHY firearms historian/evaluator in the Commonwealth of Virginia that might be able to give me an estimate for insurance purposes.

Can't recommend any appraisers but, keeping a long gun over the fireplace is not always good for the gun. Have seen some that were all sooty with dried up stocks.

Try contacting these guys for a referral to an appraiser .

Try David Condon out in Middleburg.

I think he's still out there.

Ask the guys at http://www.n-ssa.org Give them a description of the gun.
