Dear Blair,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a pistol made by Ketland & Co in London. It was probably converted from a flintlock lock to a percussion lock. It was made in the early 19th century.
This piece is in bad condition and there is a serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 100 to 250 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,
Georg
