Antique help required

Hi ,

A friend has a rare miniture silver musket approx 6cm which is engraved with family name etc and is dated 1842.

It is more of a souvenire type thing and is actually a pencil holder with additional bayonette.

Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing or know where similar items can be found on line and appraised locally.

Many thanks

Sounds daft, but have you tried Ebay? It's a handy way of getting a rough valuation on pretty much anything

Email info and pic over to Stacey's, they're pretty helpful.

Try an antiques fair. Might get an idea from there - or take some photo's if you don't want to take the article.
