Lot #1007:
(A) SCARCE DOUBLE BARREL BELGIAN PERCUSSION KNIFE PISTOL.
Dual Damascus barrels mounted to the top of the action, left barrel with a Belgian proof, with German silver hardware engraved with scrollwork and hunting scenes of a pointer chasing a gamebird on left, and bouquets of florals on right on right, with horn spacers. Well thought-out relief cuts behind barrels for hammer recesses. Folding triggers on either side of spearpoint blade. With consignor information describing the pistol and stating provenance from the Hebert Tannenbaum Sale at Butterfield & Butterfield, February 1993, as Lot 1161. CONDITION: Very Good. Barrels with age related brown mottling that has obscured most of the Damascus pattern with traces still visible. German silver very good with some handling marks and rubs, horn spacers with a crack and two bug holes to left scale. Blade extremely tight with evidence of scratches to nail nick from opening. Mechanically fine, bores very good.
