Dear Gus, 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 with brass inlays. This pistol was probably made in Europe in the last third of the 18th century. The pistol is not marked by the producer or with a guarantee or proof stamps to identify the maker or to localize it. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 300 to 500 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
