Double Barrel Percussion Pistol
£650.00
An interesting over-under percussion pistol circa 1840. Brass bead front sight but no rear sight. The metal ramrod is present with a reversed steel worm on the lower end. The stock is carved with a scrolled pattern at the grip instead of the normal checkering and there is a brass capbox in the butt.
Good working order with an overall patina. It has a Liège stamp and inspection markings on the barrel, and is marked TROXADOS DE ACO on the top. Partial readable marking on the lockplate: AMA & Ci BA.
TROXADOS DE ACO is Portuguese for "twist steel", often advertising Damascus twist finish barrels. These markings are commonly found on guns imported into South America, especially Brazil, from Belgium.
