In the end, it may be a quality piece by talented mechanics but with respect to the >>Golden Age of Gunning<<, there isn't any component of collectability.

But still, I would like the full story as we may see it again.

Thanks again Raimey. Something about this gun just wasn't sitting right with me either. Motivating me to post here to learn from others who are much better educated on these guns than I. I have reached out to a gunmaker friend who know's Hagn all too well. I will see what else I can learn and report back.

Having said that (and this maybe a dumb question), is there are specific questions I should ask to help truly identify the action?
