Advice wanted: Antique Pistol, Belgian Mordant Liege 58 cal 1830s percussion cap pistol

I have been offered this in in a trade where trade value is $400. Anyone have any experience or can tell it is a fake by pictures alone? Worth $400?

Thanks in advance.

Unless you're set up for black powder and want an item, you'd be lucky to sell for $2-300 down the road, pass. If you've been wanting to try your hand with BP, go something more reliable, with 5 more rounds at your disposable.

Here's an Uberti 6 shot 44 for $40 less

Not necessary. When some one is putting a price on BP, or any item not found on your LGS shelf, as trade fodder. They should provide you with as much info on said item as possible.
