Mark, that being the case, make sure that the appraiser identifies the pistol as a post WWI import. The common Post War import (not marked "SAFE" or "LOADED") is only worth about $500. In it's own right this pistol is not common, but that may just slide by the executor's "expert".

Good luck, it's a shame to see some xxxx-head force the sale of an heirloom outside the family.
