French Gold and Silver Inlaid Percussion Pocket Pistol

Manufactured circa 1840 in France. Silver inlaid patterns are featured on each barrel flat at the breech and muzzle, frame, bolster and hammer with additional silver inlaid borders on the barrel flats, hammer, buttcap and frame. A gold inlaid dot border is featured on all sides of the frame and on the buttcap, with the frame screws having a gold inlaid pattern. The folding trigger has an extensive floral engraving. Hammer notch rear sight with worn down post front sight. Fluted one piece ebony grip with a floral carving near the frame, a simple line border carving in the flutes and a checkered pattern carving between the flutes. The concealed buttcap swivels to reveal a cap compartment.

ConditionVery fine. The barrel retains approximately 70% original brown finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth coin gray patina with some mild spotting. The grip is very fine with the exception of a minor crack near the frame (right side) and some scattered light dings. The pistol retains most of the gold and silver inlays. Mechanically fine.
