This unusual double barrel percussion pistol-short sword was made by Vauthier in Paris. The overall length is 24.5"". The blade from tip to cross guard is 18.75"". The grip length is 3.75"". The blade is approx. 1.5"" wide at the pistol barrel muzzles. The blade is bright with scattered roughness. The percussion pistol features 4.5"" round 31 caliber barrels. It is operated by cocking the bottom of the cross guard. This exposes the nipples and releases the hidden triggers. The trigger pulls are very hard. The grip scales are horn and the horn pommel is a nicely executed lion's head. There is no scabbard. This is an interesting and unusual pistol-sword. You'll be the only one on your block to own one!
