Description:

This unmarked pistol was likely produced for the Mediterranean trade and has golden inlaid designs on the barrel, various floral blooms and round dot patterns throughout, vine patterns carved into the upper wrist with inlaid pearl leaves, silver rope and studs. Silver rope is also inlaid around the stock flats. The brass buttplate and plaque on the grip have floral designs, and the wide checkered grip has small silver studs in the checkers. It has a round ball on the trigger, a bar on the left flat, blade front and notch rear sights, and a bulky rifle-esque stock. A small screw can be seen at the back of the chamber.

Rating Definition:

Good. The iron surfaces remains partially bright with brown patina, oxidation, and minor pitting. The bore is rough and oxidized. The brass throughout has an attractive aged patina. The stock is very good with a dent on the left flat, crisp checkering and carved designs, and minor handling/storage marks. Mechanically fine.
