Re: Pedersoli Lorenz
I really wouldn't want to use an original in the field at events. Plus, no matter how great shape its in it will look like a 150 year old antique. Did they look 150 years old 150 years ago? Nope, they looked newer because they were. Is an antique gun is just as farby as one with "made in Italy" stamped on the barrel? You can take the "made in Italy" off but can you take off 150 years of patina? Would you even want to? Sure you can find a mint condition musket thats shiny like new but would you want to take that out of the house?
