I think this is a late Belgian 'Hawkem' copy.

 I might be convinced it’s a Leman smoothbore, from the 1850’s, but not a Hawken from The 1830’s. This is clearly a late production muzzleloader, if indeed it is an antique at all. There is no signature, and nothing Hawken like in the furniture, or styling, that points that direction. I think this is somebodies get rich dream.

Wow!
I think you guys are really being tough on such a fine piece.
For only $150,000 it'd be hard to do much better.
It's probably marked Hakim not Hawken!

Is this a joke...…  $150,000.00....  At $21,000.00 the half stock that Cable linked on proxiebid looks better.

Scam or idiot.  His inbox should be bombed with emails.

I wouldn't honour this seller with a reply.  He's clearly out to lunch.  Not worth another look, and definitely, not the effort to answer him.

[crankshaft]

He needs tons of opinions that he is out to lunch.o

[Shovelbuck]

He wants more for shipping than the gun is worth.

You guys didn't read the fine print, with this kind of documentation, it gotta be legit!!!~

""""" I found an identical gun on a webpage of original Hawken guns. But I haven’t been able to locate it again maybe you can have more luck. I have had several so called experts who they don’t think it a Hawken but the guy with the website says it is so I’m going with him.''''''

Longknife .....Given my choice, I would take the two pumpkins in the photoooo!

[smokinbuck]

It doesn't look like much more than a south american monkey gun.

Scam or idiot.

Both: Its definitely a scam, and anyone clever could come up with much a better one.

OMG, you guys are so jealous.  This is why it is so hard to get a great rifle posted on here. You guys tear it apart.  I am starting to think  there isn't  any of you so called antique long rifle collectors  who know real value & beauty when you see it.  If any of us was so fortunate to own such a piece we would ask far more.

[Avlrc]

I just read the note under shipping , that only two exist.  You guys better go through your collection and see if the remaining one  is in your closet.
