(A) VAMPIRE KILLING KIT WITH A BELGIAN PERCUSSION MUFF PISTOL
A nice, complete contemporary assembled Vampire hunting kit with all the necessary accouterments. The set is housed in an oak case with a brass cross and decorative corner plates on the lid. Within the case is a smaller removable, fitted multilayered case with ornate pull ring marked "K800". The first layer of the case under the lid is fitted for a pistol, cap box, and container of "silver" bullets. Pistol is a nice 19th century Belgian made screw barrel percussion muff pistol. Barrel has fine Damascus patterns and a Liege proof. Foliate scroll engraved box lock with folding trigger. 1-piece smooth ivory stock. The next layer has a leather wrapped powder flask, tool, and more bullets. The case lid is mounted with a silver plated fount to bathe the bullets in holy water. The kit includes an embossed holy water bottle, as well as glass bottles with contemporary labels reading "Dr. Blomburg's / Pat'd / Essence of Silver", "Dr. Blomburg's / Pat'd / Pepper Potion", "Dr. Blomburg's / Pat'd / Wolfs Bane", and "Dr. Blomburg's / Pat'd / Garlic Oil". At the center of these case is a large crucifix and candles. Also included are a large 2-piece wooden spike and a rosary. CONDITION: Very Good. Pistol has an overall dove gay patina with very nice barrel patterning. Grips have a nice, creamy patina with a few older splits which appear solid. Well defined bore. Fine mechanics. Accessories rate good/very good showing some age and handling. This kit displays very nicely and makes for an excellent curiosity.
