Last time I saw a Pieper sidelock of that era and engraving style it was a 12 ga and sold at auction for around $1800. I think it was Rock Island and it was about 10 years ago. I think this one is a little nicer and of course its a 16. But at the same time Id say prices for those mid quality vintage SxS are off from where they were 10 years ago.

In 2020 I noted that a coupled similar modells but with much less adornment were appraised around $900.

Beautiful gun. I'd guess (and it's just a guess) that the pricing ought to equivalent to some of the lesser known, but still quality, Spanish makers. A 16 gauge SLE by one of them seems to be selling in the $3,000-4,500 range, depending on the level of finish and the era in which it was produced.

Just as a sidenote, Henri Pieper had other hybrids like this horseless carriage from 1905: https://patents.google.com/patent/US937859U.S. of A. Patent Nr. 937859 Serbus, Raimey rse

Rainey, Henri died around 1898.....how could he have a patent from 1905?
