Can anyone tell me something about these black powder pistols?

I picked these up at a garage sale but know nothing about them. Can anyone provide details or maybe where I can look to find additional information?

Oh Rick, I’d triple it...


Show off! I bet you buy plywood too. :P :P :P


They would look great hanging on the wall with a decorative sword I have. I think the top one is a dueling pistol. Those usually came in pairs. The dbl would have been a close defense weapon maybe a naval type. Looks like it has been dry fired a lot and the nipples should be replaced.

I wished the lady had the other pistol and supplies that went with it!

Yes that would have been a really great find. Keep you eye out. The other one may be floating around out there somewhere.

Are there any markings on them?
