This came from Tacfoley in 2020.
0 - 9000 - completely made by Parker-Hale at the Golden Hillock road, Birmingham, factory.
9001 - 14000 - made by Euroarms with Parker-Hale barrels ready proofed in Birmingham, many P-H components and Italian wood.
Post 14001 - totally-made in Italy with Italian-made barrels made on P-H tooling.

You beat me to it I copied the same info off Tac.
It looks as though it was made with a PH barrel which is a good. It will have the progressive rifling at the muzzle. I believe that the Italian made barrels have the rifling the same depth and do not increase the depth at the muzzle like PH did.
I think the price is reasonable. I recently saw a s/h PH carbine, smoothbore sell at an auction for £420 with a buyers commission of 20% on top.
thank you for the info guys,
learn something new everyday.
Other than proofing gun has never been fired.

I concur with Tac on this and yours being in the 50000 serial number range will be entirely Italian made. I’ve sold Italian made 2 & 3 band rifles & find their price is always lower than a comparable Birmingham made rifle. I’ve had a few Parker Hale muzzle loaders & can’t argue with their quality. I’ve currently got 2 band & 3 band rifles here at the moment in excellent condition. Having shot Parker Hale muzzle loaders for years they’re excellent to use & a faithful reproduction of the original rifles.
Good luck with your sale
