Dear Lisa, 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 pistol with a percussion lock cap made in the late 19/ 20th century it was probably made by Afghan or Persian gunsmiths. It was made by Indian or Pakistan Goldschmidt Bzw. Weaponsmiths. Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in bad condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 40 to 80 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, Gregory
