These likely 18th century French pocket pistols feature cannon shaped turn-off barrels with small studs on the undersides for removal using a barrel wrench, "B" and "9" respectively to the left on their fluted breech sections with fluting that continues onto the tangs, rounded locks with pivoting stalls that engage the back of the cocks, iron mounts, and walnut grips with elaborate silver wire inlays that include floral and crescent moon patterns.

Fine overall with gray and brown patina, minor overall wear, some slivers of wire coming loose or absent. Mechanically fine.
