I'll do some more poking around, but, at this point, I think this is a rifle from Germany.

Actually, in this instance, Dutch is in reference to Deutscheland (and not the Netherlands) and Dutch = German. So, we are in agreement.

I need to find a good, reputable place where I can sell this rifle. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

dusty · 11-01-2012, 02:38 PM

Can anyone out there recommend a reputable dealer/broker/etc. where I can sell this piece?

You could try Googling antique arms dealers for someone in your area. If there are any large gun shows in your area, there will usually be antique arms dealers. Get some bids if you can; those guys don't give out a lot of free help and didn't get the money for top notch collections by buying high and selling low.

Thanks for the info, Jim. I've googled and found several antique arms dealers, so i've got something to start with.

i am answering private messages, but i don't know if they are going through. i'm still interested in selling the musket.

Here is a link to a place that specializes in guns of all centuries. They probably will not be interested in buying BUT will know the best place to sell it for you. they sell unaltered military arms mainly.
Contact then, send pics, and see what they say:

thank you for the info and link. i will check them out.

and, if ever there was a place i wanted to visit, it would be a place with a name like "Buzzard Roost".

Believe it or not, it is an actual place here. So is Frogtown, they are about 5 miles apart!!! How places here in KY got their names sometimes make me wonder if the settlers of KY were either just plain bored with life or had one heck of a sense of humor!

I forgot to add, if all else fails, contact your local field rep for the NMLRA, you can find him listed on their web site at:
www.NMLRA.org
Being they are the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, they can put you in contact with a reputable dealer.
