I know little and nothing about Muzzle Loaders or black powder guns, but I've got one, I'd like to get some idea what it's worth just for curiositys sake. I do not want to sell it. About all I know about it is what is and the fact they don't make them anymore.

It's a Thompson Seneca, in .36 Cal. A friend "loaned" it to me and told me to keep it until she wanted it back. That was 20 years ago or so ago. When I've tried to take it back to her, she just says "keep it for now." I know I've never fired it, and I seriously doubt that she ever did. (She got it one time when she was dating a guy who was into shooting.)

I've looked on Gunbroker and GunsAmerica but I can't believe anyone is getting the "buy it now" prices I see. And those are all .45's, not .36's.

Thanks in advance.
