Both items in this lot are of the 19th Century fitted with a smooth ivory grip, which is topped with a three-dimensional carving of a lion at rest, and an ivory sheath with a hanging ring on the back. 1) Percussion pistol, 6 7/8 inches in overall length, with a folding trigger and a striker that rests flush with the body when decocked. When closed and inserted into the sheath, the pistol could be mistaken for a knife. The sheath is fitted with a silver collar, which is stamped "TSM" on the rear. 2) Knife, 8 3/8 inches overall with a 4 1/4 inch drop point blade. The grip is decorated with a resting lion and a carving of a man's head.

1) Very fine, with over 80% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina and mild handling marks. The sheath shows a number of cracks and dings, with the hilt being very good with a well aged patina. 2) Fine. The blade is bright with some small chips on the tip and edge, light cleaning, and pitting concentrated towards the tip. A number of cracks are present in the ivory, which shows a pleasant aged color.
