A lovely Double barrelled Pistol with Bayonet
This is a lovely piece,i got it from a antique market. it's in great Condition with a Walnut handle and a side Swiping bayonet (Just in case he/she missed) its got a nice Engraving of a duck on the side and some Flowers too.
I'm not sure about the age but I would say it's 19th Century.
There is a stamp on it, I think it's the maker but I forgot to take a photo of it :( I will dig it out and see what it is.
You have been holding out on us again. If original, dates from the 1830's thru maybe 1860's. That is assuming it isn't converted from flint & don't see how it could have been. Nice piece.
GREAT pistol-- European in origin.
It is original percussion and from the time period mentioned by buss.

My guess is Belgium. Any proof marks on the barrels?
Oh, by the way, this is called a box-lock.
I did a little Research on the marks and I think it was made in Belgium,so you are spot on. thanks again guys :)
