$800 and that's a steal

It's a Laborde of Paris 26 bore double barrel flintlock pistol made circa 1760 in France. Needs a ramrod and ramrod grommet. I have tested it with a flint and power in the pan with a 10gr powder charge topped with a wax ball plug and both barrels fired.
have you ever tried to get a ramrod and grommet fabricated or made by someone? Its a really cool piece, where did you get it from?

A thrift store in Ft. Myers Florida. It was in a box of junk.

No I haven't tried to get the parts. I don't really Look though. If it was complete in the current condition it would be worth $3,000-$4,000 at auction.

@Balthaz Has seen it and can attest to condition.
