Hello CGN!
Ok I am stumped as what this is worth.
Super amazing design, super PIA to clean (though with a non-corrosive powder not as big a deal).
I got it when I was fourteen (yes), and did a science fair project (yes) comparing it and the Witworth. Title of my study "Comparison of two 1860's rifle designs", with an emphasis on that they were both used as sniper rifles, and which was better and why? The main criteria wasn't group size, but consistency of velocity (no radar back then, so this was a bit of a thing). Won first place in Calgary, then went on to nationals in Waterloo (flew, by myself with the rifles with a special “ATT” from CPS), where I won an honorable mention. Try that today. Other than the missing rear sight (made up for with the tang), she is in outstanding shape.
