Information
A pair of flintlock pistols with saddle holsters
length 48 cm.
Round, iron barrels, 16.2 mm cal. at the nozzle. Remains of engraved palmettes on the back. One barrel with missing tang cover, the other with gilt broad sight and foil with remains of nielloing. Madrilenian-style flintlocks, featuring a lock plate with remains of a gold-inlaid mark. The mechanism needs revision (in both cases the cock does not hold the second cocking position). Vermeil full stocks richly decorated with floral motifs and vases in relief on a dotted background; the elements in relief also featuring nielloed decorations. Typical design featuring a "fake" ramrod and long mouthpieces which complete the decorations on the stock. Two screws are missing. Counterplates with nielloed trophies. With a pair of leather saddlebag (heavy signs of use and time), embroidered outside.
