Dug a Bugle Eagle Copper Powder Flask, what's it worth??

Although having been in the ground for many years has flattened it there appears to have been only 3450 made in 1832. Any one have any ideas of value?
Here is a link on the web of the flask.

Hi, Bill—

Welcome to TreasureNet, and congratulations on a great find! I ran it past a friend who's a professional appraiser of 1800's militaria, and he says it's a really tough call due to condition. If it were non-dug, complete, and in nice shape, it would be worth $700-800. As is, with just the body of the flask and no charger (top part), he estimates that it might bring as much as $200 from a serious relic collector.

All the best,
PBK
