Looks to be a reconversion, by the style of cock, sharp touch hole & red rust
Be nice to see the sideplate

It just begs for more information and pictures but with an estimated value of $200  to $400 perhaps that's all the details we need.  Sure would be nice to see the signature.  Might be a candidate for a re-re-conversion. Jack

I just looked at the auction and it says "lot passed".  I assume that means there was no bid? Seems like it should have been worth at least the $99 opening bid. Jack
