I just got information from my dad as to a question asked earlier about how it was in the tree and he told me the tree grew around it. and he did not see it untill he started chopping the wood. The pistols also left a indentation in the tree once removed so i dont know how this was possible. i hope that answered your question.

thank you all for your responses and information, i should point out that the guns are not small, they are around 30cm in length. I was wondering if it would be worth the effort to try and sell it?

My father found this lodged inside a tree trunk while he was cutting wood. It appears somebody thought it would be valuable and hid it there and forgot about it. I just wanted to know if it is worth anything? It is not made of gold, but another metal which i am unsure of. It has lots of flowery designs on it and a hook on the inside to connect the two pieces together. It does not have any moving parts. Has a couple of scratches and chips from where my father was cutting the tree. It is not magnetic. Any kind of information is appreciated. Thank you.
