Hey guys, I just recently joined the club.. I told my father about this forum and he then handed me a very old gun and said, "find out how much it's worth, or at least find some info on it", so here I am. I don't know very much about it except for a few markings. It's obviousley a muzzleloader, and in pretty good condition. Behind the hammer its stamped Harper's Ferry 185? not sure if 1853 or 1859. In front of hammer it's stamped u.s. with an eagle above the u.s. mark. On the left side it's got got stamped on stock C.S. (I assume confederate states). A little fartheer down the left side of stock it agained marked C S along with ART. I have searched through FLAYDERMAN'S all night and still have no clue. I would appreciate any direction anyone can send me. Thanks again.
