This fine example of Halbach's work is much smaller than most known examples. The two stage barrel has a turned cannon muzzle and is stamped on the top three flats towards the breech with 13 stars surrounding an encircled eagle proof. Stamped with unknown "CSA" at breech, just forward barrel tang. The convex lock plate is unmarked. The brass furniture is typical Halbach with pommel cap displaying a relief patriotic Federal "chicken eagle" surrounded by 13 stars. Trigger guard terminates in an acorn finial. Horn end cap. The walnut stock has a relief fan design, typically seen on Halbach pistols, carved around the barrel tang and engraved with 13 stars. CONDITION: Barrel and lock retain a grey patina. Lock functions well and is in its original flintlock configuration. Brass retains a pleasing mustard patina. Stock very good with some minor scattered marks. Complete with its original horn-tipped wooden ramrod. An attractive and small Halbach pistol. DMG
