That's a cool gun and story. I shoot a Harkom pinfire and agree the maker is superb. I don't often see them, but the Harkom boxlocks are a step above most others in beauty.
By the way, how do you make homemade black powder ? |

Congratulations! Another way to enhance the enjoyment of the hunt. That’s a trophy bird in my book.

Great story Frank. That gun’s condition is amazing after 170 years. Was that a display gun at the gentleman’s booth that sells the leather goods?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. No Mike it wasn't at the leather goods booth. Another gent had it on consignment and away from the table traffic mainstream; I checked her out thoroughly but wasn't able to make a deal despite several increasing $ tries. Then I had regrets while driving home and called him to commit. Sent the check and he shipped her to me afterwards.
