Dear Simone,
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 Colt Mod. 1850 Army revolver with a percussion system. It has the serial number 74939.
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 400 to 800 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
