Check out the prices during the fur trade era. Look at the price of a Hawken, lead, and powder.

Yeah looking at gun prices from the 70's it seem stupid compared to what we pay today but like Pato says the pay was way less then.....

A real one too Ray. A real one would probably sell for $50,000 today. Not that you could even find one for sale.

That's a pretty good site to read if you're into the mountain man era like me and Jon. Lots of good info on it.
