Unusual and fine pair of percussion belt pistols made in English style but French or Belgian origin showing no proofs or markings. Measures 11" overall with a 5 5/8" heavy octagon barrels of .70 caliber smoothbore.Nicely engraved with etching on the barrels and full case colored finish. 75%-85% plus colorful case hardening just dulling and aging slightly. The actions are crisp and the pair show very little use or aging. Thestocks are finely checkered and very good plus except 1 has a large chip and missing wood behind the lock. Our sense is that this pair are French made for a British client. Circa about 1850-60. (Antique) Est.:$1500-$3000
