A good original example of a mid-19th century over-and-under percussion pistol, dating from circa 1840–1865. Of compact form with twin superposed barrels and double external hammers, the pistol is fitted with a walnut grip and plain chequered lock plates, consistent with continental manufacture of the period. Notably, it retains its uncommon sliding rear sight, which retracts neatly beneath the hammer line — a feature not typically encountered on standard pocket examples. The metalwork shows an even, untouched patina with light age-related oxidation, and the walnut grip displays honest handling wear. The action is reported to be in working order, enhancing its desirability as a mechanically complete period piece.
Condition Report:
• Honest surface wear and light oxidation consistent with age
• Walnut grip with small knocks and handling marks
• Sliding rear sight present and functioning
• Action reported to cock and function correctly (not test-fired)
• No visible make...r’s or proof marks which is common for Liege pistols.
Measurements:
• Overall length: 21cm
• Barrel length: 11.3cm
• Height: 11cm

This item is sold as a historical antique. All photographs form part of the description and condition.
