Depends on the laws where you live. The BKA 98 is a REPLICA of a ball and cap revolver, not a REPRODUCTION. It is NOT intended to fire any sort of live ammo. They were used as props or decorator items (shadow box type things)
The value of a BKA 98 revolver replica can vary depending on factors such as its condition, authenticity, and demand among collectors.
