What does this mean?

Dear Leslie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The apprised object appears to be a pistol with a flintlock system. This gun is quite simply decorated and the barrel is not additionally decorated. It was made in the Georgian era.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible. The brass fitting on the end of the barrel appears to be a later addition or overworked.
An estimation would be between 400 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
