$2,500 is less than I would have guessed it'd be worth? Then again I'm not sure who the market would be, it's kind of an awkward item that I'm not sure how much it'd appeal to most gun buffs or medieval fans.

- boomboomsubban 3y agoI don't understand what you're saying, could you clarify it?
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI'm no anitques expert, but I can imagine it's not worth much because it's just the barrel and it doesn't have any paperwork to go with it - where it came from, who owned it, who made it, where it was used, etc. With artifacts like this, the story that goes with it makes up a lot of the value.
