    Price is now around £4500 and the waiting list is at least three years from placing the order. The example you can see on Youtube tac's guns Baker rifle took four years to arrive, DID cost £3500, but is seven years old now. Best to give him a call, he is very pleasant chap to talk to.

    So if a copy costs £4k5 what would one made in 1826 be worth?

    I paid £6750 back in 2006, have they gone up much since then?

    I couldn't possibly comment. Your spending on a gun is about the same as I spend on a family car - what do I know about stratospheric gun prices?

    Steady on old chap, it was just a general question, a musing, not directed at you at all.

    I do wish you would stop getting cross and telling me off like this.

    I am really quite inoffensive, I just have this unfortunate gun buying habit

    Not an ordnance gun though.
