This pistol was likely made in Italy in the 18th century and has extensive relief chiseled ornamentation on the various iron components including designs of men at arms, masks, and scroll patterns. The designs on the breech end of the barrel are particularly attractive. The full-length stock has a combination of incised and raised relief carved floral patterns and a narrow wrist. The ramrod has a horn tip. Provenance: The Collection of Joe M. Wanenmacher Jr
