Also show a picture of the RIGHT SIDE of the stock, does it have a Patch Box?

This is not a HIGH GRADE rifle with profuse engraving nor checkering nor fancy wood...It is what one might call a Standard Grade Target Rifle..what makes it interesting for me is the Scope..and then the box of tools...It is in near excellent condition from what I can see. The varnish on the stock appears to be original.

I like this rifle alot because this is the thing I like to collect...or have moved to in my collecting habit...I have had just about everything else at one time or another...How many Lugers do ya need? These all were built ONE OFF, and are an American Art Form..

As far as value...they don't match the Kentucky/Pennsylvania FLINTLOCK Rifle Status...but because it is a target is worth in the 2500 to 4500 range..It might go a bit higher on a good day...Without the scope, box of tools and that False Muzzle...maybe 1200 at best...So U get the idea of just how valuable that little False Muzzle is? Most collectors will pass that rifle by without it...
