Very interesting work. It is a pretty penny for it also. I have seen originals (not converted) for
less on some sites in as good or better shape. It must be the unusual work that makes this so
spendy. Any thoughts by those that know more than me???

It sure wouldn't take much to "re-convert" it back to flintlock.

I've seen other conversions using a similar system not one that finely crafted.
