Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale “Mule Ear” single shot percussion pistol made by master miniaturist Ron DeWalt of Michigan.  5 1/4″ long overall with a 3 5/16″ octagon smoothbore barrel of .155 caliber.  Nickel plated barrel, lockplate, hammer, rear sight, & screws.  The balance of the metal parts are made of German silver except for the ramrod tip & front sight which are brass.  One piece beautifully figured fiddleback walnut stock.  The barrel, barrel tang, lockplate, & hammer are modestly but expertly engraved.  There is a nice silver wire inlaid on the left side of the stock opposite the lock assembly.  The barrel is bored through to the nipple, & this piece will shoot given the proper caps, powder, & balls.  Complete with a nice hinged top walnut case with flip latch that may or may not be original.  The interior French fit & lined in an olive green felt, as is the case bottom.  Excellent condition except for a small finish blemish on the barrel and rear sight, some tarnish to the German silver parts, & some scratches on the case.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
