Fine Antique Relief Carved Miniature European Percussion Pistol

This fully functional miniature European pistol appears to have been manufactured in the mid 1800s by a skilled maker, and has no external maker markings visible, with a German silver bead front sight on the blue finished barrel, with a casehardened lock, hammer and barrel tang, silver furniture, brass tipped iron ramrod, and floral relief carvings in the walnut stock.

ConditionFine with original finish, smooth gray and brown patina on the balance, scattered light freckling on the iron surfaces, a deformed area on the lock that appears to have been cast that way, and defined edges in the metal overall. The refinished stock is also fine with defined recut carving, some cracks visible on the underside, and some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically fine.
