About the Item

These vintage early to mid-19th century French percussion cap dueling pistols are presented in their original carrying case. Each is beautifully designed with a decorative etched elongated steel octagon shape barrel. The shaft of the barrel is supported by a carved mahogany stock with additional hand carved accents. The wood handle features applied metalwork surrounding the curled finger trigger guard. The pistols rest within fitted areas of the mahogany case, as do accessories. Some very minor applied decoration is missing on each handle (note a tiny hole). The pistols are in very good condition.
