ENGRAVED Antique BOXLOCK Single Shot .50 Percussion GENTLEMEN’S/MUFF Pistol
Easy to Conceal Mid-1800s Self Defense Pocket Pistol
Here we present an antique Engraved Boxlock Percussion Self Defense Pistol, made circa the 1850s. This little self-defense pistol would have been most at home in the pocket of anyone in the busy cities throughout the world during the tumultuous mid-1800s. This pistol is small, light and simple. The “Pocket Pistol” name says it all. They were the "Saturday Night Specials" of the 16th-18th century. Before the Deringer, they were "Gentleman's" or "Muff Pistols", typically, a smaller pistol that was easily concealed. They were favored among the gentry and women because of these traits. Men would carry them concealed in a waistcoat pocket and women would hide them in a hand muff.
It is elegantly engraved on the sides of the frames while sporting a Damascus barrel. In any sort of scuffle, the user of this single shot pistol would have had quite the “pocket advantage!”
The overall condition is near fine. Original finish with good Damascus pattern on the barrel. Nice engraving. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and dim. The barrel does not currently turn off. The carved grip is solid.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 2-1/2 inches.
Caliber: .50 Percussion
