A) Boxlock Percussion Pistol

Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Percussion
Type: Pistol
Gauge: 48
Barrel: 3 5/8 inch round
Finish: blue/casehardened
Grip: ebony
Stock:
Item Views: 928
Item Interest: Average
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 262
Class: Antique
Description:

This pair of pistols has no markings aside from the scroll engraving. The Damascus barrels screw off using the wrench/key on the included ball mold. The ebony grips have compartments at the butts with shell shaped lids. The pair comes in a highly figured case with the noted mold, two turned containers, a couple of lead balls, and two keys.

Rating Definition:

Very good with vibrant original case colors on the hammer, lighter case colors on the action, mostly brown patina and light Damascus patterns along the barrel, loose hammer screw, and mild age and storage related wear. The grip is very good and has some chipping at the toe and otherwise minimal light handling and storage marks. Mechanically needs work. The case is fair and has some absent pieces and mild overall wear. The accessories are very good with minimal age and storage related wear.

Rating Definition:

Very good with half of the original blue and casehardened finish with some fading from age, light Damascus patterns along the barrel, crisp engraving, and mild age and storage related wear. The grip is also very good and has some thin cracks and minor handling and storage marks. Mechanically needs work.
