What's wrong with this rig?

Doug, No the cleaning rod is a $9.99 beer barrel reproduction. Original rod wood barrels are very slim.

One of the tough facts of life is that if you see one good item in a pile of junk it is very difficult to pry it out of a sellers hands. The sellers rarely want to let loose of the good item hoping it will help to sell the junk.

Hi Jerry, I've never handled a Persian rig, could this be one? The Type 1 trommel and dust cover look nice and are worth close to $2,000.00. Even if the loading tool is a repro, it's worth $500.00. Best regards, Norm

I've had a number of Persian outfits most had phony stocks and all are numbered in Farsi in the wood. All of the leather with this set is fake. If this is the group I looked at in Tulsa, which I think it is, only the pistol is original.
