Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A double barrel percussion pistol is a muzzleloading firearm developed in the early 19th century that utilizes percussion cap ignition systems rather than flintlocks. Featuring two side-by-side or over-under barrels, it allowed the user to fire two independent shots in succession before reloading.

These pistols were constructed primarily from forged steel or iron for the barrels, lock mechanism, and trigger assembly. Stock handles were typically crafted from dense hardwoods, such as European walnut or rosewood, often accented with steel, brass, or silver furniture.

Authentic period pieces exhibit period-correct British or European proof marks stamped along the barrel underside, hand-engraved lockplates with floral or scroll motifs, and natural age patina on metal surfaces. Examining the fit of the lock mechanism into the inletted wood stock also reveals hand-tooled historical craftsmanship.

Display the firearm securely mounted on a bespoke timber stand, inside a glass cloche, or within a shadow-box frame. It serves as a compelling tactile focal point on an executive office desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside vintage leather-bound volumes and brass instruments.

Keep the piece in a climate-controlled environment away from high humidity to prevent oxidisation. Apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax or gun oil to metal components to protect against rust, and treat the walnut stock with beeswax polish to maintain wood hydration.
