Dear David,
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. It is not marked and has a brass decoration. Such pistols with an inlaid brass decor could be made around the Mediterreames Sea bit and also Great Britan. The bigger countries usually stamp their weapons.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 350 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
Hello sir and thank you for your help..I see no hall Mark's or proof stamps..but took picture other side decor appears brass.. any other advice or pictures please let me know..it a mystery. Grandfather had gun collection and numbers extra in notes on all guns but this one exactly how he wrote notes about in description. I do not think he knew about the gun either.
