Hello Apolaki,
On these forums we strictly observe not only avoiding discussion of monetary values and appraisals, but do not discuss items for sale or in active auctions. The appraisal of antique weapons or any such items is not surprisingly a confidential and very personal arrangement. Personally, if I were having something appraised I would not want it to be broadcast worldwide

Our forums our primarily for discussion and learning the history of the items posted, though occasionally many items, typically from ebay, are posted for discussion once the sale is complete.

There are dealers and appraisers who can be reached privately, and we can discuss those privately if you wish.

Thank you for being straightforward with your query.

All best regards,
Jim
