I agree with the assessments here. If the bore is good and it is functional, I believe the bidding would approach $1000 on an auction site as shooters do like the long barrels, and it is nice looking. Add a repro stock and holster and someone will be a hit at the range.
btw: That strange barrel has a proof mark on the right side and it looks like the adjustment part of the artillery site is missing?....
