Need help from BP guru’s

[Victor3Ranger1]

I have been asked to sell some guns and I am having trouble figuring out exactly what it is and the value.
It's a Lyman 54 caliber made in Italy.
In the picture it is exactly like the one on top in the picture

My best guess is a David Pedersoli .54 cal. Traditional Hawken Target rifle. Condition will dictate value, Midway USA has very close rifle for 1043.00 new. Hope this helps.

How would I know for sure if that's what it is??

Pedersoli has made Lyman BP rifles in Italy. Maybe some close up pics of the markings would help for comparison.

You would post photos of the actual rifle that you need to sell. Maybe have an 8 year old help you?

I wish I had an 8 year old to help me put up an avatar picture!

Look up Lyman trade rifle or great plains rifle. I don't remember them having the patch box on the side of the stock though.

I don't think any of the trade or Great Plains have the patch box in the stock
