The lock of "B" is marked "PERRONNE/FILS," and "A" has "AVIGNON" indicating they were manufactured in by Perronne Brothers in south-eastern France. The cannon style barrels screw off to allow loading from the breech. The barrels and breech sections are niter blue. The ornate thumb plates are silver. The other fittings were likely finished bright. The stock has raised floral carving. The pistols overall are feminine in design and would have been suitable for carrying in a lady's hand warmer (muff) or pockets. They come in a later antique ivory case with mostly silver fittings including clawed feet and a plaque inscribed with "M.C.B." in gothic letters. A mid-19th century powder flask with "43" coarsely scratches on the collar is inside.

Fine with 50% plus niter blue on the barrel and breech and gray and brown patina and light pitting on the balance. The stock is fine other than a large chip on the right side. Mechanically fine. The case is fair with added upper compartment, relined interior, one loose and chipped foot, and replaced hinges. The flask is fine.
