Dear Joe, Thank you for your help and patience. The presented object appears to be a replica Tower flintlock gun made by EIG in Japan in the 1960s or 1970s. 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 100 to 200 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
