Hello Bo stuck, can I please get an update on the value of my flintlock pistol? Thank you

Hello and my apologies for the delay. This is a 19th century percussion cap pistol. Based on the proof marks, the pistol was made in Belgium. It has a damascus steel barrel, and case-hardened lock assembly. The trigger guard and pommel appear to be made of nickel-silver, and the small inlay appears to be brass. The pistol is in excellent condition, with most of its original finish present. It does not exhibit any active corrosion or significant damage. Based on the condition of this piece, and completed auctions of similar items, a fair market estimate is 2,300-2,500 dollars. Please reach out with any questions.
