This very attractive pair of miniature 18th century style officer's or belt/holster pistols was handmade by Stan Blashak. They are not based off of a specific set but show many of the prominent features of full-sized pistols from the period. The fully function, lightly engraved locks and multi-stage barrels are finished bright. The remainder of the furniture is lightly engraved and silver. The walnut stock show nice, fairly simple carving. Includes a hardwood case with interior fitted for both pistols as well as the included miniature ball mold, powder flask, turnscrew, and pan brush. Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with the locks and barrels almost entirely bright and the silver components having an attractive lightly aged patina, with very little handling evidence overall. The case and accessories are also excellent.
