How can I find out the price of a 1816 Commemorative Flintlock rifle.It was my husband and I don't know the year he received it. His name was Eugene W. Leseman.. Thanks Shirley Leseman?

Answer 1

The 1816 Commemorative Flintlock Rifle was priced at $1800.00 originally in 1995 and was produced in very limited numbers. The original reproduction was on display at the 1995 Shot Show in Las Vegas and I'm sure that it is in the Remington Museum. There is some speculation that Remington had the rifles built by the now defunct Hatfield Company but there is no record of this ever happening. Remington can't verify that this ever happened. All the rifle were produced out of the Remington Custom Shop according to the certificate of authenticity. Remington offered a certificate of authenticity for the rifle but you had to send in the application that was included in the rifle package. The certificate verifies it's production date. The rifles were well constructed in the old methods used by Eliphalet Remington II. They used an Ketland style lock which is very robust. The barrel is a 1-66 twist in 50 caliber, designed to shoot a round ball only. I would say that if your trying to sell the rifle a good asking price would be between $1800.00 and $2500.00 if it's condition is pristine and if you have the certificate of Authenticity. Hope this assists you with your search.
