Early 19th Century Percussion Cap Dueling Pistol by Symion il Sauvadi
Interesting piece. I haven't been able to find anything about the maker so far.
Quality long barreled full stock dueling pistol with finely engraved steelwork and woodwork in its chequered grip.
Stepped lock, clearly signed by the maker "Symion il Sauvadi".
Barrel retains all of its browning and has no pitting, and the action is super crisp.
The steelwork has some staining and there is a small old repaired crack to the woodwork, just in front of the lock.
A large, really handsome quality piece.
Overall length 46cm, barrel length 28.5cm
