    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 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,

    Not an ordnance gun though.
