amount of scroll engraving. The left side of the barrel engraved with the proper markings. Beautiful aged ivory

A true antique percussion muff pistol from the 1850's
or 1860's. Probably made in Belguim. 1 23/32" long overall with a 21/32" non-fluted barrel. Dissappearing
folding trigger that automatically drops down when the hammer is cocked. Screw off barrel, ivory grip, nice original
engraving. Nice condition with smooth metal showing a silver/gray patina. The hanging ring is missing and would
have been where the hole is on the upper rear tang. The barrel is stuck & I can not get it to unscrew, and I'm not
going to risk damaging it. The grips have a tiny chip missing on the left side where it goes into the frame and age
cracks by the upper and lower tangs. The grips are scrimshawed on each side. The right side marked XV Juil +,
the left side marked with what looks like a combined HP 1 where the loop of the P is on the upper right leg of the H.
The action works very well with a strong hammer spring. . Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11, Photo 12 . Price: $1,100.00

This is a beautiful antique miniature
percussion single shot pistol, probably made in Belgium in the 1850's to 1870's. This one is a little larger than most
that I've ever seen. Typical screw off barrel and hidden folding trigger. 2" long overall with a 11/16"
fluted barrel. The bore diameter is about .1875". Nicely aged ivory grips showing a beautiful patina and
small age crack around the retaining pin on the left side and another very small thin crack running into the left side of
the grip from the lower tang screw. The left side of the frame and the top tang are nicely scroll engraved.
The right side of the frame engraved "Borio" in script. Really nice condition with the metal showing a nice
smooth aged gray/brown patina. No noticable pitting. Complete with the original cardboard casing. The casing
is a mottled or marbled brown & black with a brass rear hinge and brass push button latch. The interior French fit
in a dark blue velvet. The velvet is much lighter and brighter under the miniature indicating great age. The box
overall in great condition showing minor scuffs and missing the paper covering from the lower half of the hinge. Photo 2,
