Dear Dirik, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The presented object appears to be a U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1816 Type III musket. The rifle is stamped "Harpers Ferry" with the US Eagle and dated 1837 on the lockplate. It has a 42" barrel and a .69 caliber. 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 1.000 to 2.000 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
