Jim,
I found an expert who is going to make an appraisal of the gun today. After talking to this guy and looking at all the guns he has for sale, I believe this particular speciman will probably appraise for around $1,500 at best. The guy who is making the appraisal has a really nice Naval Blunderbuss from the same time period for sale for $2,500. It has a nice looking brass barrel and much nicer wood on it than the one being appraised.
