Hello,  
 
I am a Belgian collector of British military percussion rifles and muskets and my next collecting target would be a pattern 1838 musket. Have you ever seen any on the market as they seem to be quite rare. If so, do you have any address?
Alternatively I have found that The Rifle Shoppe make copies. Are these as good as they claim to be? Does anyone have experience dealing with them on such a complex and expensive order?
 
Thanks

Thank you for your reply Bill.
 
Were they not also made in volunteer version, as opposed to British regular army version?
Would these be less rare?
