This mid-18th century pistol has a smoothbore barrel with a silvered brass blade front sight flanked by gold scroll and floral inlays, a gold inlaid border on the sighting flat, gold inlaid floral and scroll patterns on the octagonal breech section, and a gold band at the breech. The tang, lock, and brass furniture have scroll and border engraving. The lock is signed "Allary/a St Etienne." The stock has a false flame figure finish, silver wire inlays, nice molding, and raised relief floral and scroll carving. Provenance: The Collection of Joe M. Wanenmacher Jr

ConditionFine with 40% original blue finish mixed with dark brown patina and some mild pitting on the barrel as well as 75% plus of the gold accents, mostly bright lock with some light oxidation, aged patina on the furniture and silver wire inlays, and mild overall wear. The stock is very good with even moderate wear, minor cracking at the front barrel pin, scattered dings and scratches, some absent wire inlay mainly along the pommel stirrups, and general mild dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
