    WTB: 1861 pattern barrel bands and rear sight

    Greetings

    Looking for an original set of M1861 barrel bands (flat type), or at least the middle barrel band. Also looking for an original rear sight. Don't have to be pristine, maybe even a little character would be better. If all else fails, I would be willing to take reproductions.

    Please let me know what you have.

    PS: would be willing to consider a rifle musket that was cut down.

    Blessings

    pricey

    Thanks, I saw those. Pretty rough and pricey. In the $200 price range, are they worth that these days? Geez!

    The middle band in the three band set is what drives the price up. The middle band with sling swivel in tact comes with a pretty hefty price tag alone.
