How about an 1860 Tower Enfield rifle, stamped as sold out of service and then shotgunised?
Or the Hughlex
Having jught a lovely old shooting related oil painting - I am in need of a nice wall hanger to go underneath it!

What sort of money are you after for it?

Hey Rob, if I can find some money to afford it I would love to buy that Huglex of you still (we discussed it over pm some time ago) I am still interested but being a poor student its a bit tricky at the moment
I love the style of that old gun, and it would make a nice first BP gun.

The Hughlex is the perfect web sales gun, it looks a lot better in photo's than it does in real life

This one cost me $1250 from the States, then dollops of cash to Magnus Wiberg in Sweden who did the reversion.
I particularly liked it because it has no less than 24 inlays including 5 brass dragons, all with silver eyes and claws. Funky Inlays
It's a beautiful gun, that's for sure. Sounds like an expensive hobby you have there!

Well, yes and no
If you stick with antiques and can avoid geting ripped off, the value goes up rather than down.
The fastest price hike I ever saw was when I bought a Baker rifle. It arrived cracked, the dealer first offered an invisible repair, then he offered to buy it back because he could get £2250 more than I'd paid the week before
..a mouldy old percussion gun withoput its hammer etc and had lots of free woodworm ....
Well I'm not daft , and knew it was no Baker , but later found out it was the later design Brusnwick .
Knew I should have bought it for the asking price - £70
