    Although original sword guns are very rare and collectible, this is simply a decorator piece to hang on the wall. Value maybe $50 as a curio.

    Don't want to pee in your corn flakes, but it looks like a mediocre replica of a 17th Century German hunting sword to me. It appears to be more of a wall hanging decorator/conversation piece then anything else. The blade doesn't appear to be steel as the original would have been. There is a outfit in Spain that make many similar replicas out of pot metal, it appears very similar to some of their production.

    Because it's made of cheap "white metal" with a wax-cast, untrimmed hammer, cheaply made wood grips and no markings.

    The screws look like they came right out of a Spanish hardware store parts bin! I've seen these in curio shops all over Seville selling for 75 Euros ($100).

    Here's one for $300 but I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for it. An original would be in the thousands.

    What an amazing coincidence to find two nearly one of a kind items, virtually identical in appearance and in such fine condition after what...400 years?

    I bet there are a lot more out there in the exact same condition if you look hard enough. [;)]

    And others just like it? Nay!

    If you fancy a clamshell design, $34 will buy you this one:

    And here's another similar (if not identical) one for $46:

    Lastly, click here for a look at the real McCoy. Apparently these were used by German aristocracy for boar hunting. (The idea being that if the shot merely angered the boar, you weren't left there with just your "pistol" in your hand!).
