Antique Japanese & World Weapons AUG. 29th
Lot 372:
Interesting 18th-19th C. Spanish Percussion Pistol ~ Converted from Flint-Lock. Very nice early example with a wonderful figural hammer and finely engraved steel mounts over the checkered wood stock. Large caliber barrel is profusely inlaid with a lengthy silver inscription including the 1840 date. Appears as an earlier gun which was converted to the percussion mechanism at the same times the inlaid presentation inscription was done. Interesting and very attractive example overall. Total Length: 12 1/2"
