Perhaps if you showed us the gun and named that good price?

You must name a price to advertise anything for sale in these forums. Your location would also be a good idea, as someone local to you would be more inclined to purchase than someone who would have to facilitate the transaction using a third party dealer or shipping.
You should also make good clear closeup photographs available if you want a response.

Kantu, I moved your thread to the 'New members' subforum. Since you have no idea of a price, and a price is required in the for sale topic.

It looks like a converted Navy? with some saltwater or other corrosive exposure. The gun has been refinished and the takedown lever appears to have had either work done to it or it is a gunsmith's replacement. Neither the grips or magazine are original to the gun. The grips, if authentic, are worth some money.
The sideplate also makes me nervous. It appears to have a full length raised lug but may be a gunshop special as well. |

Why is there an ampersand ("&") instead of a crown above the "M" on the right side of the receiver?

This pistol has had a lot of rust damage. Quite a lot of metal has been taken off here and there and it seems that the &M markings are just an attempt to 'recreate' the buffed away imperial markings.
The side plate has had material welded on, and reshaped. This makes it look funny. |

The gun appears to have been kept working over the years by hand making or repairing a number of parts on it. In any event, it is a shooter and worth maybe $500.
