Unique European Double Barreled Sword Percussion Pistol with Finely Engraved German Silver Hilt and Leather Scabbard

This attractive weapon combines a mameluke-hilted short sword with a pair of folding trigger percussion pistols. It has an overall length of 22 inches with a 16 1/2 inch long blade. The spear tip blade has double edges and single fullers. The short dual quillion cross guards feature scrollwork on the main body, starbursts on the quillions and the percussion nipples concealed in the upper section, which doubles as the hammers. The Liege proofed Damascus barrels rest in the single fullers with one on each side. Fine scroll engraved solid German silver mameluke pattern hilt and a pair of folding triggers on the underside. The sword has a brown leather scabbard with decorative seam stitching and a German silver throat with belt hook.

ConditionVery good. The blade and barrels show mild spotting, with some pitting concentrated near the tip. The hilt is excellent, with some minor dings and scratches. Scabbard is fine, with some repaired stitching and minor tears. Mechanically excellent.
