[size=large] I'm just posting a couple a before and after photo's. All I wanted was a period musket for my relic display. The butt plate was missing so they sent a new shiny repro... no no no. I have one picked out I'm bidding on that's nasty, beat-up and heavily encrusted~ perfect! I wanted the gun to remain old and period looking and not shine or gloss it up to much. The more dings, bangs, gouges, the better. It looks like it been through a lot of battles , something I tried to copy from the real ones I have been looking at on the Internet.
