1860 Enfield Pistol
I have an 1860 Enfield pistol made of wood/metal. Very decent condition and all of the pieces function properly, I’m sure if the gun was inspected and cleaned internally it could probably be fired. But it’s in the same condition I purchased it in. I bought it from a local villager in Afghanistan in 2014 when I was deployed there. It wasn’t until I was googling the gun to see if it was legit that I found out it could potentially be worth far more than I paid for it.
I purchased it in Afghanistan from a local. He had about 4 or 5 of them on display.

Dear Jordan,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a copy of a British Enfield Mod. 1860 pistol with a percussion system. It is stamped on the lock plate 1860 Enfield, with the British crown over VR (Victoria Rex). Such weapons are copied in higher numbers in Afghanistan since the late 19th century. this piece was probably made in the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 200 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
