This is a  true antique percussion muff pistol from the 1850's or 1860's.  Made in Belguim.  Dissappearing folding trigger, screw off barrel, ivory grip, engraved.  The piece shows some nicks and such from use, but is perfectly functional.  Fully functional and shootable if you can find the proper percussion caps.  Complete with the rare original case.  There is a depression in the case that originally held the small brass container of percussion caps, but sadly it has been lost over the years.

This is a neat pair of miniature pill lock jailer's key guns.  I believe these to be 1/2 scale and 1/4 scale.  The smaller one measures 2 7/16" long overall with a 15/16" barrel.  The larger one measures 4 15/16" long overall with a 2" barrel.  Construction on both are the same with the key made of brass.  The hammers and triggers are steel.  The small one was made by master miniature maker Ron DeWalt and is marked RDon the left side of the handle of the key.  It has fire blued hammer & trigger and a nice original DeWalt glass topped walnut casing.  The interior is French fit with a red felt lining.  The larger one the maker is unknown.  The hammer and trigger are a dark patina brown, there is no case, and it could possibly be antique.
