Hey everyone, I have been recommended to this forum due to I can’t find any information about this pistol. My uncle passed away and left me some cool things. He bought this back in 2002 for $950 and looking to get a value if anyone knows anything. Any help is appreciated.

Impressive, I've never seen anything like it. I can't help with the value but it will be worth more unfired and with the original box and paperwork.
Welcome to our group.
Welcome to our group.
Yes it has yet to be fired. And has original box, with certificate of authenticity. #14 of 850. With original receipt.
If you have the paper work, can you tell us anything about the manufacturer or any associated marketing ?
This was in the box. I can’t find any info on it anywhere.

Please accept our condolences on the loss of your uncle.
John Chalk is the prexy of War & peace, Inc. in South Pottstown, PA - likely an import company.
It's a manufactured "collectible" that companies like "America Remembers", "Beanie Babies", "Dreamsicles", etc, that sell their wares retail (@ exorbitant prices) through gun magazine full page adverts.
It's value is exactly how much somebody would be willing to pay for it.
However, it's very cool - YMMV, but if it will fire, I'd shoot the snot out of it

nice pistol, especially for a Marine
Never seen one before. So no idea on the value, but I betcha some Marine would pay good money to have it.

Interesting. What’s the stock material? Some sort of plastic?
I bet it is Bakelite
The box in the background is a Pedersoli, now if that's the original box.

I think it's cast faux ivory resin, same stuff faux scrimshawed whales teeth are made of. It can break if dropped, handle carefully.
