Dear Leslie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The apprised object appears to be a flintlock pistol made with a steel handle. It has a flintlock lock and these all-steel stock pistols are typical for Scotland. It was probably made in the late 18th or early 19th century. This piece is quite simply decorated in comparison to other comparable pieces like this.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 1.000 to 2.000 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
