Thread: Old pistol, ornament or ?

Yes, it is worth a maximum of about $200-250 in its present condition. There are a few things counting against it; spurious manufacture, ostensibly Belgian but the proof mark is not correct (should be in an oval); possibly made for ornamental purposes post the flintlock period (1890-1920); could be of eastern origin; woodwork does not look correct; some key parts missing. By way of comparison, a period correct English example in average but complete condition would be worth $1500-2000, maybe more if by a well-known quality maker.
