Description:

These pistols have no visible proof or maker's marks but were likely produced in the early 19th century. The sides of the action have light martial theme and border engraving. They have dual cocks and triggers and sliding safeties. The bag shaped grips have wire inlaid designs on the sides and checkering in the upper areas. Iron ramrods are fitted under each barrel.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The brass has a dark aged patina while the iron has a brown patina and oxidation. The grip is also very good with a chip on the left, some slight gaps at the junction with the action, and mostly sharp checkering. The actions and safety function fine.
