I have an exact same Grice as this one I brought it from a country shop in the Wales UK when one day I was attempting to buy a new pair of work boots, I ended up walking out with a circa 1760s Brown Bess which I thought to be a bitsa. After a lot of research and 4 years later it turns out to be the real deal. Grice was a contractor in Birmingham England who made 500 of these but only 9 are still known. Valuing it is empossible in the UK because no one realises the significance of the Grice Brown Bess but it’s a really well made English Flint lock
Was expecting a 10k offer but he was more generous than usual lol.

If I found that thing I would never sell it, that’s a flipping piece of history that’s probably older than half of your family tree alone, and it looks beautiful too, just, selling it would be like commiting a huge crime.

I learn alot from this show
I can't stand people like this who are selling something that's been in their family for generations. I just got off a video of a guy selling a 1763 flintlock pistol. I mean can you imagine who has touched that weapon? Same here and this guy wants to sell it to go buy something stupid. For all he truly knows George Washington might've held that weapon.

I searched and watched that clip. That pistol was just found in a box of granddads. (supposedly) If it was an heirloom, someone in their family should have known about it and kept it well. (and written it's history down) I have seen punk kids and drug addicts sell pieces of family history though. And sadly, my father's beautiful, ornate Damascus double barreled shotgun was stolen from us. As well as the rifles I learned to shoot with.
