Depends upon the make of the gun. Tredegar Iron Works made 125 of these guns in 1864-1865. This one sounds like a Type 6 Confederate Napoleon made at Tredegar of which only four have been documented to exist. If it is one of these the price could be easily $85 to $90K due to the rarity of the gun. This gun would be the fifth to be documented. Most Napoleons are made of bronze.
