  If yours is like the one that is pictured on the net? It's a, "Huntsman" made by the U.S. Small Arms Co. of Chicago. Collectors consider this type of firearm to be what is called, "Firearms Curiosa". That is a firearm combined with a utilitarian device.
  
  Unfortunately the feds consider it to be a NFA firearm. Unless they have changed it's designation, it's possession and sale poses serious legal questions. Until these questions are resolved, it's value is moot.
  
  You best get this NFA business straightened out, before trying to sell it. Or you might wind up in the graybar hotel with sugarbuger bubba as your roomie.

  Could be illegal, could be legal. Even to be in a museum it has to be properly registered. Read the NFA FAQ above. That item would be considered an AOW.

  As the guys have said- most are an AOW- Any Other Weapon, and are regulated under the National Firearms Act. If not registered, possession is a SERIOUS illegal.
