I never heard of the rifle but that is not a big surprise. If you have pictures of it, post them please. Traditions have traditional model muzzleloaders on all ends of the price list, from very cheap to very expensive (compared to some). It would be interesting to know why this model went down the way of many. As for its value, without knowing the rifle I could not say or guess. Flintlocks are getting harder to come by, but quality is quality. This is especially true when dealing with the locks on these rifles.
