G. MARIETTE

Besides his famous pepperboxes
Mariette produced also high
quality target pistols.
This cased pair is consecutive numbered 1383 and 1384,
the caliber is circa 6mm,
8¾" octagonal barrels with dovetail front- and rear-sight,
additional decorated with gold- and silver.
The ebony grips are lavishly engraved, and so are the iron parts including the butt cap.

Scarce and very decorative    $7,500.
