Title Percussion miquelet pistol
Nationality Spanish
Period c 1835
Sold

Nice example, in good working order, of a 16-bore pocket pistol. This captures the essence of a close-quarter weapon, capable of a devastating blow at close range, whether with a small buckshot charge or solid ball. Nice silver inlay to barrel; iron parts lightly patinated overall.

I collected my iron cross this am from the sorting office. Thank you for the medal; as before it's a very nice one. Thank you for your prompt service and I look forward to purchasing more in the future from you and your wonderful site.

Just wanted to thank you very much for finding the sword - you have made C's day and therefore mine!
