How much would this cost in today's money to make?

A rare and unusual percussion rifle by Wylie G. Higgins, Macon Co. Georgia. Most of Higgins work is associated with the late flintlock period. This rifle has a converted flintlock and a silver overlay has been applied to the surface of the lockplate. All of the furniture and mounts are of silver. A number of architectural and design elements on this gun are similar to or identical to other known examples of Higgins work.
