Friend of mine has a flintlock pistol from his grandfathers attic. No identifying marks on it except for the rod, which is stamped .44, it is very worn and hard to read. Any special way to figure out how old and what it is worth?

They also have a shop in North Chelmsford MA. I know the guy in the Chelmsford store, the "Main" shop is the Pelham one. If one of them can't give you a real value, I am sure they know the person who can.

He said "Hey, that's what we marked them as when we got 'em." FWIW, 7.62x54 ammo goes around 22-23 cents/round when you buy a 440 round spam can...
