Friends,
I'm seeking a USED & SERVICABLE flintlock musket or "very Plain Jane" country rifle for my "Texas Dirt-Farmer" impression.
I am NOT looking for a new reproduction musket/rifle but rather a WELL-USED but still functional arm that LOOKS as if it's been through several long campaigns of the AWI, War of 1812 and/or the Indian Wars & that is a firearm that a "near penniless" Texas immigrant of the 1820s-early 1830s could have bought or traded for before/after arriving in Nacogdoches..
(I see NO good reason to buy & then "mess up" a new musket to make it appear used/abused, when there are any number of such well-used firearms out there.)
IF you have such a musket/country rifle, please PM me with photos/price.
yours, sw/Doughboy
