The lot features a great double barrel side-by-side percussion pistol, dating to circa 1840’s, with American Indian brass tacks. The pistol shows a receiver bearing only a small un-identified proof on the right side, two smooth round, slightly outward tapering barrels with hand cut four-line rifling, exposed double percussion hammers atop with double trigger and wide trigger guard below, and finished by the solid wood pistol grip with dramatic 90-degree downward turn and curved bird head like pommel. The one-piece grip shows nice coloring and slight splitting from honest age, along with brass trade tack adornments in a unique Native American Indian pattern. Each hammer pulls back and locks and each trigger releases the hammer. It is in presumably functioning condition, but was not tested for fully functioning condition. The pistol itself shows a mid-19th century age; the tacks were a latter addition. Provenance: Said to have been collected from the Shawnee Indians of Indiana. The barrels are approximately 3 1/4 inches in length at the round connection to the receiver; overall, the pistol is 8 ½ inches in length. Antique Firearm, no FFL or NICS required.
