Great acquisition, corrado. Being a true pair is obviously an extreme added value.
Could you show us a picture of the buttcap ... no face mask ? |

Oh yes, there are face masks. They are from the same early type as often used by Israel Segalas or George Halfhide. Both masks have no hallmarks, what shows that the pistols have been made before 1738, when hallmarks were not required on small silver pieces.

Good; very good.
They are really 'furchterregend', by the way  .
