Original? Repro? Who made it? Condition? Pics? You will need to supply more info to get even a ballpark figure.

Depends on things like condition, and manufacturer. Original or reproduction? Any customizations done to it (i.e. competition barrel)?

New Repro 53s cost around $1200. Early England-made Parker Hales seem to be more desirable than others when it comes to used. Used repro prices are not unusual from $500-$800.

Pictures make things a lot easier. I use www.imgur.com for hosting pictures.

One other thing to consider, we aren't reenactors. If a pretty gun won't shoot well it's just a pretty tomato stake. All most reenactors care about is pretty, defarb, period correct. Not many reenactors shoot live ammunition like we do in competition. I say that cause when I was reenacting long ago, our group never shot any live ammo. The guns looked great though.

Gunbroker has brand new Chiappa 1853s starting at about $750.

Hard to tell from your pictures the condition of yours. Could be just lighting or wear on the stock? I'd post some higher-resolution photos.

Bulletin board requires seller to post asking price.
