Description
PERCUSSION BELT PISTOL
Single-shot percussion belt pistol, 4 3/4" barrel, 10" overall, likely of Spanish origin with a smoothbore octagonal barrel of approx. .56 caliber. A belt clip is affixed to the left side of the stock, and the backstrap, breech, sideplate, trigger guard and hammer are elaborately engraved with a floral motif. The end of the hammer is in the form of a lion or similar beast. The top three panels of the barrel bear an indistinct inscription in Spanish, likely a presentation message, and including the date "1850". The muzzle end of the stock bears a small crack and is slightly warped away from the barrel, and the metal shows some spots of oxidation, else very good.
