My parents have an old, single-shot pistol that they believe is from WWI.
It is a TINY gun and the serial number appears to be: 35351.

How can I identify exactly what it is and what it's value is?

After that, where is the best place to sell it?

Thank you.

Pictures would be nice .... or an exact description, including maker's name, model, caliber .....

Serial #### .... not so much ....

What Tommy Gun said we need a lot more info.

bearcat, did you ever have a rifle with the sticker that said, "It's swell. It's from Matel?" They made stocks for the m16 for a short period. Didn't do anything to make Snuffy hate the gun less. 8-(

csmkersh,

Fwiw, I disliked the M16, i.e., "The Mattel Special", so much that I "issued myself" a Model 37 Ithaca pump-shotgun in lieu of a rifle in BRD.
(At the range where I was ever likely to have to fire a shot in anger, I never felt that I was "under-gunned", there.)

Otoh, when I was "seconded to an international organization" & where our team-members were allowed by COL Santiago de Vega to carry any forearms that we had "in stock", I carried a USN-type NM Garand in 7.62NATO & a pair of BHP, that had been "seized from a narcotrafficante".
(I also had a Spanish-made double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun, too.)

For some odd reason or other, we had "acquired" a HUGE quantity of Lake City ammo in both M2 Ball and 7.62x51mm. The armory also had numerous cases of Spanish-made 7x57mm ball ammo, too.
Handgun ammo was 9x19mm & .45ACP, from Argentina.

Note: One member of our team, who was the equivalent of a US SFC/E7 from a Central American nation, by personal choice, armed himself with a FN-made BAR. = "Arturo" was about 74" tall & 270 pounds.

Nope, never had one that said Mattel on it. I was in Germany when we first got M14s. We never got any training on it I guess they thought it was so much like the Garand that we would figure it out. Which we did. We did go qualify with them right away, I loved the accuracy it was outstanding.

Any that might look like one of these?

Allen, Union, Stevens, Flobert, Scheintod, Zimmerstutzen or Remington?

Pictures without words are not much help

Are there any markings, verbiage or anything stamped written or engraved on any of the guns? I did not see any of that from your pictures.
