Don't be in a rush when laying out cash for unidentified antique firearms.
I was pretty sure I was looking at 1816 in rough condition, but was too excited about getting a Potts & Hunt P83 for a hundred bucks so I didn't pay close attention.
Got home and it's a fucking beater Potsdam. I might get $150 out of it. Spent $300 on it. Bleh.
The good news is the P83 should sell for about $700 so that should eat up some of that negative equity on the Potsdam.
My only hope is the Kubur pistol which I paid $500 for. There is one on Gunbroker in similar condition for $2600. I will be happy if it sells for $1200
