What do you think this is worth?

Customer brought this in today. A cursory examination shows that the "little piston" is missing and the bore is a sewer pipe. The capture papers are cool but in poor shape, still readable.

Let me know what you think.

I didn't buy it from her and this isn't a sale ad. Just wondering what this log is worth to someone who collects.

Someone is looking to sell it to me. If it is genuine, is there a price for something like this?

What are you planning on doing with it if you buy it? Do you have a professional 35mm projector and a theatre sized room to play it? I haven't looked but it this one of the military training films that you can watch for free on Youtube or Google? What is the quality of the film stock and is it safety film or the highly dangerous nitrocellulose film that is an extreme fire hazard? If it is nitrate film you don't even want it in your house!!!! It is probably worth something to a military film collector, but that is obviously not you or else you'd already know the going prices for these things.
