Those have been selling in the 200 to 250 range, but the best way to determine actual value is to search the on-line auctions, such as gun broker and auction arms or even proxibid enter your details in the search and see what is selling and for how much. You can also search the archives and or sold items to get an idea of what your gun is selling for. Another place to look is The blue book of modern black powder values, available from midway USA and blue book publications as well as many of the other hunting and firearm stores. Also available to NRA members on - line for free on there web page. That will give you an idea of the general value. Guns tend to have some regional value too, say a Thompson Center Seneca may be worth a bit more in the north east than in the mid west, and a Ruger old army may sell higher in the northwest than the east coast. Don't forget condition has allot to do with value, and with black powder the bore is king. You may have a gun worth for example $500, but the same gun with a bad or rusted bore may only be worth $150 so compare apples to apples.
No published sn data.
Black powder, or a BP substitute such as Pyrodex. NEVER use smokeless powder. For bullets, either a lead bullet made for muzzleloaders, or a muzzleloading sabot and matching bullet. You need to read the owner's manual. If you do not have one, contact CVA thru their website.
CVA is s reproduction gun
Kits were made by Connecticut Valley Arms Otherwise known as CVA
75-100 grains of powder.
I believe those were made in Spain for CVA, and taken over now by Traditions.
Connecticut Valley Arms Inc. (CVA) black powder rifles typically have serial numbers that can help date the firearm. However, to determine the exact year associated with serial number 0099933, you would need to consult CVA's production records or a reliable source on CVA firearms. Generally, CVA began operations in the 1970s, so a serial number in that range likely corresponds to the production period between the late 1970s and early 2000s. For precise dating, contacting CVA directly or referencing a specific serial number guide would be necessary.
The model number on a CVA Spain .50 cal black powder Blazer is typically located on the barrel or the frame of the firearm. It may also be found on the left side of the receiver or near the rear sight. If you're having trouble locating it, refer to the owner's manual for specific details on the placement of the model number.
Probably about $150. Let me know if you still have it. Thanks
Check with CVA Customer Service through their website. i did check with them about a week ago no reply from them
There are no known date codes for CVA, but with a low serial# such as yours it is obviously early in that models production. IF the model was known I could give you an idea of the year based on when production started. If you need help with identifying the model the online auctions like gunbroker, auction arms and proxi bid are good research tools. Enter what you know in the search (CVA .45 black powder) or (CVA 45 muzzleloader) and compare photos to what you have. You may have to search archives or completed auctions, but you should have good luck.
CVA was only a seller of Pistols they did not manufacture them selves I would say it is a repo of a navy revolver if it is a 36 cal or a 44 cal 6 shot revolver they had a ship engraved on it. It is a functional reproduction made in the late 70's. It will shoot a .454 ball with 30 grains of black powder. It was sold as a confederate model 1850 navy.Original black powder firearms will never be marked "Black powder only", since at the time, that was the only form of gunpowder. As said, your CVA is a modern reproduction.
