Scarce Unwin & Rodgers Percussion Knife Pistol

Two folding knives flank the fold up trigger. One blade is a 3 1/8 inch double sided and the other is a 2 1/4 inch single edge blade. Both are marked "UNWIN & / RODGERS / SHEFFIELD" on the left ricasso, with the shorter blade having the additional marking ("V [crown] R"). The octagon barrel is set atop the knife portion, with a worn post front sight, a pair of Birmingham proofs on the upper left flat, and a smooth hammer. A lanyard staple is mounted on the left side. The butt of the gun has a small storage compartment. The horn panels are checkered in the grip area.

ConditionGood. The silver components show a fine aged patina, with an attractive aged color on the exposed brass. The blades have a mottled gray patina with some minor spotting. The horn panels are good with exception of a couple large chips missing near the butt, some minor scratches, and a couple minor cracks. There are a few minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. The hammer does not hold a full cock position.
