This knife pistol follows the same basic pattern as the Parisian Dumonthier knife pistols and related to earlier hunting knives/short swords. It has no visible markings other than "92" on the left hammer. The barrels are smoothbore. The horn grips have attractive carved twist patterns. It comes with a leather scabbard with German silver fittings.

Fine overall with mottled gray patina, light surface pitting, and minor marks. The grips have thin cracks by the hammers, minor handling wear, attractive natural tones, and fine carving. Mechanically fine. The scabbard has mild aging and some minor scuffs. Overall a very attractive example of a classic mid-19th century knife pistol
