    Bought this at a estate sale for $200 because when I googled it I saw prices from $700 up to $3,000+!

    I didn't have a name or know what type it was, but I did now it was old, small & the barrel unscrews! With that I got pictures of similar looking ones & the prices mentioned above - so I bought it

    Can anyone tell me who made it, what country it's from, how old it is - or what this one might be worth?

    As always, I appreciate any help.

    I sold it to a friend yesterday for $400
    Didn't realize how hard it is to sell a firearm, even a antique - no eBay or Craigslist - so I'm happy doubling my money in 3 days.
    Thank you for the info komokwa; it helped a lot.
