I believe that guns are worth whatever someone will pay.
Surely there are plenty of refinished and restored pistols out there that sell for as much as nice original ones.
Will its price skyrocket over the next days? Presumably yes, as we can see isn't very likely that this gun was used at the 1898 Battle of Omdurman and during the Second Boer War, it's a commercial one built for the export market; and it was probably restored in the past, but come on it's over a century old and still with its original cardboard box!
