This gun was made special for a high ranking leader in the UK . It is definitely one of a kind . This gun was made for them only and its maker prided himself on that detail. That's why it was reserved for higher ranking leaders. The pistol itself has fine detailed ridges grooves and craftmanship and can actually even fire today.
This gem was picked up at an Estate Sale here in the city Los Anveles
Dear Mia,
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 flintlock pistol which was made for decorative purposes in the 20th century. This pistol imitated the style of pistols of the Near East or Ottoman Empire.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in bad condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 0 to 10 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
