| Appraiser Comments: | Henri Pieper Single Shot rifle. The rifle is a .22 BB cap rifle and has a 22 3/4" octagon barrel. The original finish appears to have been blued, but a little hard to tell from the pictures. This was a simple design single shot with exposed hammer. The Pieper firearms were built in Belguim and were a well know builder of primarily shotguns. They were in business from the late 1850's - around 1905. There is not much information to be found on the Pieper rifles compared to the shotguns they produced. As far as value on this rifle in its current condition needing some minor repairs I would figure on around $ 150.00 would be a fair price for resale depending on the rifling and bore condition. |
