St. Louis Hawken kit circa 1960's

I am looking to buy a St. Louis Hawken rifle that is a kit from the 1960's or 1970's. My father had a genuine St. Louis Hawken that my Great Grand Uncle carried during the "War for Southern Independence". He was a private in Co. B, 9th VA Cav. My dad sold the original in 1960. I remember playing soldier with the rifle when I was a kid. I am now trying to "replace it" I remember that during the Centennial of the "War of Northern Aggression" replicas of black power, percussion cap weapons were all the rage. The re-enactment movement was just getting started. I am looking for a St. Louis Hawken from the 1960's because It would look "old" now (gee, I wounded why). Ive seen a few over the years and they almost look authentic. Can anyone help me with my search?
