Podewils,

What I was told is that some of Dr Gatto's guns have been sold in the USA. I have also been told that he has the originals in his collection and that he bases his builds on them, but I am no expert. I am new to muzzleloading and found these fascinating designs. Their prices (as displayed on his website) are also well within my budget - that is why I was curious. I am not worried about participating in exclusive competition but would definitely like to buy a gun or two a year and shoot it for fun if I could.

Good hunting!
