That's a nice looking old Hardy Bros. muzzle loader too.
I'm in agreement with Jeff K's month-old post... that "there are a lot of nice guns out there for that $3000 price range and most of them will not have the issues that this one has". Which, in my humble opinion leaves only the "pretty" aspect of such a gun... that's all I meant but Jeff said it better and after a month, his statement is still quite valid too.

I agree that nowadays $3K can buy a nice Parker and it is probably better to find one for that price and spring for it than buy a sick gun for that number. I own only two Parkers, a SBT SC which I paid $1500 for more than a decade ago and a GH that I bought last year for $900. Both guns took a little work and neither are what I'd call pristine, but still nice guns. The SBT was covered with a thin coat of bright orange rust, having been stored in a humid climate inside an old plastic case. Not healthy for the old girl.
The other didn't open or cock, but took little work to fix, just $160. Here is the SBT: (It's not a very good picture.)
