I'm asking myself what this pistol is. Maybe an old replica ?
Can somebody help me ? cal. 0.59 (15 mm) barrel length 6.4" (16,2 cm) total " 11.5" (29,0 cm) marked "a" on the ramrod and "52" on the barrel. Thanks in advance and season's greetings to everybody. |

Hi,
Though I don't profess to be an expert, my best guess is what you have is a percussion dueling pistol circa 1825-1840. The sighted octagonel barrel and checkered grip seem common characteristics for such pistols.The pistol appears to be period, but I am sure some of our more knowledgeable members can add/revise my thoughts. Happy Holidays! |

that does look like a spiral wound damascus barrel. cool. not found on modern mono-steel replicas. looks like it's in mint condition.
