This attractive pair of fairly early 18th century Continental European holster pistols features smoothbore barrels with rounded brass blade front sights on sighting ribs, chiseled and engraved designs at the breech, and a series of marks on the left including "C-S" in a sunken shield. A grooved rear sight is incorporated on each barrel's tang. The flat beveled locks have faceted, non-bridled pans and border and scroll engraving. Aside from the bone forend caps, the furniture is brass and features a variety of foliate designs, masks, serpents, and more. The stocks have attractive raised relief scroll carving and molding.

Good overall with gray patina and mild pitting on the lock and barrel, replacement front ramrod ferrule, aged patina on the brass furniture, generally distinct designs aside from the rubbed breech section, distinct carving, some cracks and repairs in the stock, small chips, and general mild overall wear. Mechanically fine.
