Best bet phone Kranks, there usualy in the know if they haven't got one.
Peter Dyson makes both smooth and rifled reproduction Baker rifles
They are hand made in his workshop.
Cost £3500.

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?

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 cross 'old chap', just somewhat bemused, that's all.
My latest acquisition is a 44th Bn of Infantry Welland & Lincoln Militia snider from the ol' homestead in Ontario, with a history back to its issue in 1868 and use during the Fenian Rebellion.
Cost me $750 Canuckian - that's around £375 or so.
Of course, I can't shoot it, as I already have too many guns for this county to permit me to have such a cosmic world-destroying fusil as that.

Having owned one of the Indian made ones many years ago, which was a real piece of rubbish (apollogies if you are the chap I sold it to..), I emailed Pedersoli and suggested it would be a good one for them to copy commercially. They replied something such as ' Thank you, but we have not hear of this gun'.
I was thinking of doing the same thing with Pedersoli, ill not bother now.
have a 50 cal Hawken made by Pedersoli which is a lovely piece of kit,
something may turn up one day in my price range,
I have always liked FREE as a good price,
