1864 Dated VERY SCARCE Antique Italian TERNI ARSENAL .69 NAVAL BELT Pistol
PERCUSSION PISTOL Italian WARS of UNIFICATION
Here we present an antique Italian Terni Arsenal Percussion Naval Belt Pistol, manufactured in 1864. The Terni Arsenal was a small arms factory located in Terni, Italy. The Terni complex was set up by a group consisting of the Italian steel and shipbuilders Odero and Orlandi, with technical and financial input from Vickers and Armstrongs of Britain to erect a Blast Furnace at Terni, and a connected "ordnance" works, for the manufacture of Guns (artillery) and small arms. At the time, the centers of Small Arms and Artillery production were Turin (Torino), for the North, and Torre Annunciata (near Naples) for the South, both areas having been independent kingdoms prior to the re-unification struggles of the 1860s.
This large percussion naval pistol is dated 1864 and has 4 groove “Minie” type rifling in the barrel with the “CROWN/SHIELD” proof and inspector’s initials at the breech. It has “CROWN/RA” stamped above the Terni Arsenal “TA/1864” acceptance mark. It has the original belt hook and ramrod, along with a brass trigger guard and butt cap. This example dates to the period of the Wars of the Unification of Italy, which included various Naval battles and expeditions. This is a very scarce pistol.
