Price guidance requested.

Hi all;

A friend has a Birmingham made screw barrel pistol he's offered me. About 40 cal, smoothbore. The receiver's engraved, and appears to be made from or plated in nickle silver. Some faint damascene on the barrel. Walnut bag grip.

The issues are: broken spur on the dolphin hammer. Broken trigger axis pin. Rusty bore, not total clogged sewer pipe, but a solid coating of flakey rust all around. Barrel is hexagonal and off time by a couple degrees.

What are everyone's thoughts on a price that's fair to both of us?

Thanks

Based on what you are saying I reckon he should give it to you as a friend. If money has to exchange hands, then IMHO - $100

In that kind of condition $100 is fair, I have a couple of Belgian Boot Pistols which I paid way too much for so I am not really a good judge of value but they are interesting little guns and they are not Prohibs.

In good working order but nothing special about 250- Yours does sound like the 100- mark-give or take. IMHO
