Answer 1

i dont know. why the h**l are you asking me?

1869??  Alot....Alot...Alot!!!

Answer 3

depends on the make of the gun and it is a Black powder pistol or a cartridge (shells or bullets) .......that determines the value of the pistol or gun, also what kind of shape is it in!

Answer 4

i would take it to a few gun shops...

Answer 5

looks fake weirdo

Answer 6

It&#039;s worthless.  But because I feel sorry for you, I&#039;ll take it off your hands for $5.

Answer 7

The revolver pictured is like a 1873 Colt.  A real Army marked revolver will have value, but it would have to be looked at closely by someone to determine the actual amount.  My advise is to get several opinions.  Some collectors will downplay a good piece just to get their hands on it.

Good luck,

Answer 8

A lot depends on the actual condition and rarity of it.

Go to a gun dealer for a straight answer

Answer 9

take it to an antique dealer....and tell him that you are lookin for a estimate on a hand-gun DO NOT just walk in with a gun in your hand....might not go over so hot...lol

Answer 10

the pict looks like an action man toy,( GI Joe)

if it just looks like the image, then you need a specialist, selling guns , even old ones has to be handled carefully or the police will come knocking on your door.  Licensed auction houses you give the best valuation, since they work on commission from the sale,  they aren&#039;t likely to cheat you.  a dealler in old guns will want the best price for themself.

Answer 11

probably around $200-$300

Answer 12

a rusted gun is a valueless gun.

however the 1869 us army  writing, you say it has, could potentially give it some value. Take it to several people and see what they offer, make sure to not go for the the first offer just because it sounds good, wait and compare the offerings. finding a good place to auction it off would be best for greatest profit for yourself.
