an exceptional set of Belgian made Officer's Pistols of  the same  quality of dueling pistols, with the mandatory ELG proof stamp, no maker's name, big caliber circa .66 percussion, 6½" Damascus barrels with dovetail front sight and deep rifling. Lock, hammer, trigger guard, back trap and butt cap nicely engraved, ½-stocked with deeply carved fore end and channeled grip typical for the 1850's period. The pistols are in excellent condition.
The pair is in its original  high-quality case and accessories: mallet, two ram rods with iron metal heads, scissor style bullet mold for one ball with sprue cutter, combination screw driver and nipple wrench, a matching container for caps, a powder flask, some patches and bullets. The case is dark brown inlaid.
A scarce and highly desirable set     $7,500.
