What is the age and value of a 30 caliber cap firing muzzle loading rifle marked Hermitage Arms Co with double triggers and an octagonal barrel?
As far as I know Hermitage made only shotguns, well actually sold them. They were manufactured by Crescent Arms. You may have a composite gun with a lock from Hermitage. It was not uncommon for people to piece together a gun from what they could find, particularly during the depression. I have come across these in the past and some are quite well made though baffling to historians and collectors. Or a 1of made by an employee. I can find no mention in my library of a muzzle loader.

In the days of black powder, muzzle-loading firearms, a large caliber lead bullet was standard- somewhere around .69 caliber.
