Anyone familiar with Mr Turpin's (Overland Park, MO) work? This gun was made decades ago with a Getz barrel, Siler lock and a super piece of quilted "birds eye" Maple. Fore end and ram rod jag are ivory. It is in excellent condition. I have an interest in it. Thanks for any info.

Look on some of the BP building sites or track of the wolf to get an idea on fair values. Tom Turpin is certainly not an unknown gunsmith. I would only value it a quality contemporary and go from there. There is a lot of work that goes into those guns, but I don't think the prices often reflect that very accurately. $1500-$2000 would be my guess. Shoot straight, shoot often. Matt | |||

I bet your right Bill. I've gotten an estimate on building an identical gun and what the owner is selling it for is $2,500 Gray Ghost Hunting Safaris http://grayghostsafaris.com Phone: 615-860-4333 Email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com NRA Benefactor DSC Professional Member SCI Member RMEF Life Member NWTF Guardian Life Sponsor NAHC Life Member Rowland Ward - SCI Scorer Took the wife the Eastern Cape for her first hunt: http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6881000262 Hunting in the Stormberg, Winterberg and Hankey Mountains of the Eastern Cape 2018 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4801073142 Hunting the Eastern Cape, RSA May 22nd - June 15th 2007 http://forums.accuratereloadin...=810104007#810104007 16 Days in Zimbabwe: Leopard, plains game, fowl and more: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=212108409#212108409 Natal: Rhino, Croc, Nyala, Bushbuck and more http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6341092311 Recent hunt in the Eastern Cape, August 2010: Pics added http://forums.accuratereloadin...261039941#9261039941 10 days in the Stormberg Mountains http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7781081322 Back in the Stormberg Mountains with friends: May-June 2017 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6001078232 "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive.

If you like the gun you had better be buying it before it gets away. That gun is quality work and it would cost at least half that just to buy the parts and wood for it, and that's if you could find wood like that today at a good price! | |||

For what it's worth, Jim Turpin, last I knew lived in Overland Park, Kansas instead of Missouri. He used to be a member of the Contemporary Longrifle Association. May still be. That rifle is still on their web site under him as the artisan.

I know nothing about muzzleloaders but I do know a little about wood. Quilted Birdseye Maple like that is rare! Simply beautiful. | |||
