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.

The bayonet arrived at 8.00 this morning! It's excellent, just what I was after and I'm well pleased with it!
