All depends on the gun. Some pinfires are quite collectible, many are not.
For the most part,the bigger, the better and condition is very important. Most pinfires you see in this country are usually in abysmal shape.

Most pinfires were built 1860 to 1880, so what I said before still stands

Good pictures would help a lot...............

Some of the tiny ones are collectible too... So either BIG or TINY..but not medium..ThAT's what people want. =)

But seriously though, put some pictures. I mainly focus on pinfire guns and cartridges and a lot of people here could tell you a lot just from a basic picture.
