Cased Pair of Engraved German Blancke Dueling/Target Percussion Pistols

A) Blancke Pistol

Both pistols are fitted with dovetailed blade front and notch rear sights. The casehardened locks are signed "E. BLANCKE IN NAUMBURG a/s." around the rear of the hammers. The hammers are decorated with a finely engraved fish head motif. The top flat of the swamped Damascus barrels is marked "E. BLANCKE." on one pistol and "IN NAUMBURG a/s." on the other. The locks, sideplates, hammers, and barrel tangs are engraved with floral scroll designs, and the breech plugs are engraved with an arrow and crossed torches. Includes green lined wooden case containing a hammer, nipple tool, oiler, bullet mold, and powder flask.

ConditionVery fine, retains 85% original brown finish with some light flaking at either end of the barrel, 60% original case colors with some areas muted, and crisp engraving. Stock is also very fine as lightly sanded and re-oiled with a professionally repaired crack running beneath the lock and sideplate, some light handling marks, and defined edges. Mechanically excellent. Included case is very good as sanded and refinished with some scattered light handling marks, a chip at one of the corners, and light wear to the lining.
