Belgian Engraved Muff/Boot Percussion 44 Caliber Pistols Cased Pair - Antique Pistols *ca. 1850*![]() PRICE: $2,499.99This is a cased pair of antique Belgian engraved Muff/Boot percussion pistols. These pistols feature 2-1/8-inch screw-off rifled barrels, which appear to be .44 caliber with damascus pattern on the outside. The barrels are marked with Liege Belgium "E/LG*" oval proofs and are numbered "9" on both. The frames are floral engraved with folding triggers that extend when the hammer is pulled back. The grips are fluted ebony. These pistols probably date to around 1850 and come in a fitted wood case with violet felt lining and storage compartments. Included in the case is a bullet mold and James Dixon & Sons 3-way powder flask, which also dates to around the same time period. Overall condition of the pistols is good, the bores still have clear rifling and shine, but there is some pitting. The nipple on both guns shows some rust and there is also rust on the frame chamber ports when the barrels are removed. Mechanically, the pistols seem to be in working condition and would probably still shoot. Buy online today! SKU: 10089250-51 |
