Flint lock pistol and rifle value
« on: March 30, 2017, 03:24:16 pm »
I'm going to an auction in a couple of weeks and there are a couple of flint lock pistols there.  I have no idea what these would be worth.  Could someone give me an idea on what would be a good price for them?  I don't have any information besides the pictures.  The first one is the one I'm really interested in.

Not really enough info.  It depends on the caliber, and condition of the bore, antique or replica.  They might go pretty cheap, if they're not in prime condition.

The auction listing had very little information on them.  All I can go by is the pictures until I can see them in person.

Just a guess; The first one looks to be well made, contemporary, not an antique, $300 if the bore is good, perhaps a little more.

The second one is a copy of a Philadelphia Derringer, CVA, Dixie or something similar, $100 or less.

the derringer looks like a custom job.

I only say that because I've been SUPER into googling the old cva kits trying to find them for sale and I haven't seen a flintlock philly, but I mean I could very well be wrong too.

I think you're right on the price though, it's not antique so it would be a really good pickup if you can get it cheap.

for that matter if you get it at a reasonable price and don't want it I might be interested in picking it up at the classic.

Um, I think your picture source has changed, I see a pump action shotgun and a six shooter...

Yep.  They must have changed the pictures on auctionzip.  I'll try to fix it.

Where's the auction? If it's not too far I just might go to try for one of those rifles.
