- Lot Description
Western Europe, England, ca. early 20th century CE. A gorgeous double-barreled percussion pistol bearing a dark brown wooden handle with incised grooves and a suspension loop on the bottom. The breechloading steel barrel swivels downwards once the articulated lever below is swung to one side and enables the insertion of larger caliber cartridges than typical pistols. Both brass hammers cock backwards from the percussion pins, and each falls when one of two corresponding triggers is pulled. Both the brass trigger guard and steel forestock bear intricate foliate engravings that create an eccentric presentation, and inlaid with gilding atop the bridge between the barrels is the barrel manufacturer's name, "BASTON." Several stamped hallmarks are visible beneath each barrel. Size: 9.2" L x 4.375" H (23.4 cm x 11.1 cm); (bore of each barrel): 0.4" W (1 cm)
Provenance: ex-estate collection of Dr. W.M. Bogdanowicz, Naples, Florida, USA; ex-private Hertner collection
