That's been up there a couple of weeks.  Obvious restock and only $45,000!  The outfit that has it for sale normally has somewhat realistic prices on their items, but obviously really missed the mark pretty wide on this one.

Maybe the same Emperor who bought the invisible cloth.

Seriously doubt a high class French maker of that period would leave file marks on the lockplate and use a refaced frizzen.

Eric, you must have missed the new sarcasm button! ;D

OH.......never mind :o    :-\    I guess there isn't one of those. :'(

I like the way they didn't inlet the trigger guard on this one.  Something kind of strange about them FRENCH folks

That one looks like a High School project with TC triggers and a rear sight from the 1950's.
$450 would be a huge price for it.

You nonbelievers are missing out on the chance of a lifetime.  I'm going for it. The banker said he would be happy to mortgage my house for me so I can make this dream come true.

Whoever tried to present that to Louis XVI would have been drawn and quartered.

Looks a lot like a rifle I made when I was 19 and had never held an original.
