A Remarkable Pair Of Sheet Silver Stocked Ottoman Balkan Long Flintlock Holster Pistols Circa 1810.

13 and 1/4 inch round barrels octagonal at breech. 68 caliber. The barrels polished bright with proofs and sparse engraving at breech. Convex locks polished bright. Wood full stocks entirely sheathed in repousse silver with relief vines and scrolls all on a pounced ground. Original capucines with long silver false ramrod barrel bands. Heavy silver “skull crusher” butts with castellated pommels. Engraved coin silver triggerguards, False silver side plates.

The silver of less than 800 and as such the color becomes coppery without polishing. Both pistols have silver triggers. Silver sheathing with a few old repairs but good overall. One frizzen an old period replacement. One pistol with good strong mainspring. The other with slightly weak spring. Both actions function. Bores are good. 23 and 1/2 inches overall.

This is a very showy and long pair of Ottoman Balkan pistols that will look great on the wall of any collector of Islamic weapons.
