Thanks for that info Asgardnz. Do you know if the blank firing one you bidded on is capable of firing, or being converted to fire live cartridges or black powder loads or if it is incapable of ever live firing? Be sure and let us know if you get it and post lots of pics here. Because the only other still pics I've ever been able to find are the screenshots I made from the movie and now the one you posted. But the one you posted from the auction doesn't show it close enough to make out details well. Not your fault though, it was from the auction. It would be great if you get it, if you could do a whole report for us on its operation. It's really great that you personally know Mr Godkin and also Brian Redwood the original maker of the rifles. It would be great if Brian Redwood would make some more of them in bulk, in percussion, for black powder shooters.
