A Civil War Era Percussion Boot Pistol from the 1800s. This particular Firearm is an original and not a reproduction and came from an estate of a 90 year old gentleman who served in Europe during WWII in the United States Army and has other authentic items found on this website.
The boot pistol has a wooden handle and metal stock, and is a double barrel firearm, with a double trigger and rod. The firearm barrels are apprx 4 1/2" to the section where the hammers are. The barrels to wooden handles measures apprx 5 3/4" in length. The rod is apprx 4 1/2" in length.
There are no words on the pistol as far as a maker, but if you look at the pictures, the markings look like crowns and someone familiar with this type of firearm states that makes it manufactured possibly in Germany in the mid to late 1800s.
The pistol seems solid with no major dents or bends or cracks. I'm sure this firearm will need restoration to get it to working condition.
I'm don't know anything about this item, history, functions etc, I only have written here what I see, the only thing I can tell you is the trigger on the left side works fine, the right side trigger might need some work. I'm not sure how much work is required to restore this, but it is an original hard to find piece. Please see the images for overall condition. Shipping and handling is FREE on this item for any location worldwide. Thanks for stopping by.
