Exceptional pair of Flobert pistols in the style of high condition dueling pistols. There is a maker’s stamp on the left side of the 8¾” octagonal barrel, on the right side consecutive numbered 1284 and 1285, dovetail font- and rear sight, caliber 6mm Flobert / BB caps fit perfect. The barrel is bright blue with silver inlays at the muzzle and rear, the wood is ebony, the grips are fluted and decorated with a massive butt cap. The condition and the working order are excellent. No need for the best scope on this pistol, probably better off with a holo-sight review.
A rare and outstanding pair that fit perfect in the entryway of any beautiful home. A Concealment Hall Tree is a great way to showcase them.
