- Lot Description
Western Europe, Germany, ca. 19th century CE; United States, Civil War era, ca. 1860s. A pair of German double barrel percussion pistols with tools and ammo contained in a wooden case. The pistols have a honey-colored wooden stock as well as double set triggers and hammers. The barrels are octagonal, and the undersides on both are stamped with faint maker marks and a German proof: a crown over the letter U. These pistols were very popular as they were simple, efficient, and pocket-sized for concealed protection. The brass container is an American “Plane Eagle Flask” for gun powder with a removable spout and embossed with an eagle. Manufactured by Colt and popular with soldiers for loading Civil War era revolvers. Also included: 2 Iron pistol ball pliers for molding balls, extra cloth patches in a matchbox, and 6 lead balls in a glass vial. All is stored in a wooden and velvet case which features a brass push clasp and wrought handle. Size of pistol: 7.75" L x 1" W (19.7 cm x 2.5 cm); bore: 0.3" W (0.8 cm); case: 7.5" L x 11.5" W x 3.75" H (19 cm x 29.2 cm x 9.5 cm)
