It was also a typo, single barrel, no plural.

I did in fact ring Westley Richards today, they have a record of the serial number and it matches what I saw, only it's not a 20g it's a 14g.

The guy was asking £2500 which sounded a bit heavy.
I agree.

If it has all the bits, then £1500 is not out of this world, even for such an oddball calibre, although, being a muzzleloader, is not that important.

In these cases, condition is everything.

Is it in proof? If not, factor that into the deal - figure on £100 or thereabouts. Is the vendor selling it a a shooter or a wall-hanger? If as a shooter, then HE is responsible for the proof, not you. It is an offence in UK, and any of the other CIP signaturee nations, to sell a shooting gun that is not in proof.
