Dear William,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a German cavalry carabine gun Kar. 88. This Karabiner 88 was produced by Erfurt in the year 1893 for the Imperial German Army.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 600 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,
Georg
