Gold Damascene Embellished Gabilondo y Urresti Bufalo Model Semi-Automatic Vest Pocket Pistol with Pearl Grips

Manufactured about 1919-1925, the Bufalo(sic) draws its overall layout and design from the Browning FN 1910 semi-automatic pistol. The frame, grip safety, and especially the slide are decorated with fine damascene gold panels, with thick dotted borders and floral motifs overall, around and among the standard proof markings and the two line patent, model and caliber markings. The right side of the slide is marked "MADE IN SPAIN", and "FLK" on the right side of the frame and the front strap. Grips are smooth mother of pearl with gold "Indian head/1857" medallions. Information from the consignor attributes the pistol to the estate of a "F.L. Kennedy" in October of 1975.

ConditionExcellent, with 97% plus of the original blue finish, showing some mild spotting and handling marks overall. The gold is all solid, with a few light handling marks, as are the grips. Mechanically excellent.
