Howdy and Merry Christmas all. Recently I've been clearing out a bunch of inherited stuff, and need help on one because honestly I don't know where to list it, or what to list it for.
As best I can tell, it's a Revolutionary War era musket, in original condition, but missing some pieces. It's lock (and maybe the whole thing?) is made by Ketland and Co suggesting that it is one of the rifles that the English started to copy and sell back to us, but my history is fuzzy. It's got an octagonal barrel with "London" marked on it to further that theory.
While it's really cool, and it'd be fun to hang onto it, I'm already keeping several things that are going to get me in trouble (so don't tell that part to my wife HA). So it means I'm in need of how to figure out what it's actually worth and the best place to sell it because I don't like being that person that lists obnoxiously high, nor do I want to get railroaded.
And also, I don't know if someone could maybe answer a question where I'm not a legal scholar --- this is obviously much much more than the 50 years for C&R, so does that mean I could feasibly ship it out of state? I don't know much practical "how C&R works" information. And if I had to list on an auction site or something, I suppose I'd need to know that or how I would handle shipping to an FFL.
Cheers!
