Pennsylvania 50cal Flintlock or not?

VAmasterflint:
Hi to all, my first post and hope someone can help me, I have 3 Flintlock long rifles that were given to me and cant find a date, I was told that before 1960 they didn't mark them, I find that strange but who knows, I need to get as much information on these before I move them out. Here is what I have so far.

Pennsylvania 50Cal Flintlock Long Rifle, Barrel's length inches 41 5/8 .  8 groove octagon twist barrel.

Thanks.

Steve

I think you have the available information. There have been thousands if hobby and pro builders of muzzleloaders since the 1960s. All yiu can say is it’s a custom gun and here are the specs.

2 shots:
 bedford county style.

Top Jaw:
Yes. A Bedford-esque early hobby build with a few non-period architectural freelance design features. So value would not be on par with a period correct build - but more than a factory gun in good condition -as it likely has better quality parts.

Welcome to the forum, Steve.
