    I'm looking for any weapon from the 19th century that has a low price.
    If it is all in tact, thats preferable, but if it's got just a few scratches, it's okay.

    Search Eboo for "antique bayonet" and you'll find hundreds from 99 cents up. Then look for antique swords, same deal, maybe a little more $.

    "Low price" isn't good enuf, give a price ceiling and you will get useful info. $12,000 is a low price for an original Henry rifle. What's your price ceiling? You can search any number of gun auction sites for what u want.

    There was a guy, way back when, who was searching the Black Rock desert of Nevada for a crate of Henrys buried there. Wonder if he ever found them.

    I've never paid over $5000. For a Henry rifle

    Because I've never bought one!

    If you look towards the late 19th century (1890-1900) you'll see a lot of older firearms that are the predecessors to some of the newer ones today. For instance, you can find an early 1890's Russian Mosin Nagant usually for less than $1000. German Gewehr 1888's can be found as well. If you don't want specifically a military firearm, you can find Harrington & Richardson revolvers that were made in the late 19th century for anywhere around $50 to $250 depending on condition. Check your local gun shows if they have any in your area. Remember the cutoff for "antique" in terms of federal law is that it has to be made before 1898. For California, it's 1899.

    Hope this helped!
