This is a matched pair of the smallest antique
miniature screw barrel drop trigger muff pistols that I have ever seen. Measuring only a diminutive 1.45" long
overall, the barrels measure .411" long and have a bore diameter of only .063 caliber. These have
the square bore at the muzzle so they can be unscrewed with a proper square wrench and also so they can be used to wind the
old antique key wind pocket watches. Both are gold plated, un-engraved, and have one piece ivory grips. Both have
a hanging ring on the rear tang behind the hammer. Both have fluted barrels. Both are mechanically perfect, and
I would rate the pair at 95% original condition, both showing only minor wear to the gold plating at the sharp edges.
Includes a period walnut casing with sterling silver eagle flask. The case with silver hinges and clasp. I have
seen one other of these that might have been this small, and he wanted what I want for the pair for his single. Maybe
a once in a lifetime opportunity to get such a small pair in such pristine condition! Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12, Photo 13, Photo 14 Price: $3,500.00 |
