Made circa 1840. 50 caliber with a 10 ½” barrels. This is a very interesting set of Pistols. The barrels are marked and made by Johan Christoph Kuchenreiter (1755 -1818) who was one of the most famous and highly regarded Bavarian Gunsmiths. These barrels are top quality with a silver inlays and the signature horse and rider maker sink finished in a Damascus patterned brown. The breech plug back has a very British style. The back action lock is marked “W. Bono” on each gun. All of the engraving is very British in style on the locks, breech plugs, trigger guards and butt caps. The trigger guards still retain approximately 70% of the original blue. What is interesting is these guns are not proofed. The quality of the pair is excellent and they are a true pair made in suite.
