Well, she´s got a point.
How do you value something like this?
In all honesty, no friggin idea. Not that it matters much either TBH but.. yeah.

You go on the auction price from Holts, around 800 quid but certainly “used”. Mint ???!

Looks amazing !!
"I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Lets start with typewriters." - Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959)
I would think it would bring in a fair sum of money. I know a shop that wants around £1200 for smokepoles that have rust on the exterior, pits in the barrel and knocks and dents on the woodwork, and, in some case, worn rifling. And they sell!!!
The place I am referring to buy their guns from auctions and sell them at twice the price they paid for them. I've seen what they were bought for, and later, the sale price.
If it's the same place I am thinking of a friend of mine did a straight swap with a cased Colt Model 1849 Pocket pistol, all matching, correct accessories but dubious case for a ... Get this... Un-named smooth-bore musket of mixed parentage with a tapered, almost blunderbuss style barrel, around .45 cal in the bore. It was a wall-hanger at the very most and a scrapper at the very least. We (4 of us) all advised against it but he went ahead anyway.... Bloody fool. I watched the companies web-site for a good 12 months but the Colt didn't appear.
And this is how they were shipped...

What impresses me is that you are going to shoot it. Too many cabinet queens & wall hangers not getting used as intended is a bloody tragedy in itself. Good on you sir.
