antiquepistols.com.au is not profit site dedicated to pre 1899 firearms, specifically percussion pistols.
The period from the early 1800s to the late 1900s was the Age of Percussion manufacture and design.
Flintlock was gone and cartridges were yet to be invented.
A time of chivalry where owning a set of percussion pistols was a necessary accessory to every gentleman.
Muffs were also in fashion and ladies did not just use these to keep their hands warm, often they contained a pair of muff pistols.
Duelling was not uncommon, although most pairs of cased pistols seen today and described as dulling pistols are actually target pistols which were used in taverns as an indoor sport.
Many cased sets of these target pistols, often called duelling pistols have adjustable trigger pressure and adjustable sights.
Quality and craftsmanship of pistol making reached it's peak in the 1800s resulting in beautiful engraving to lock, stock and barrels.
Gold and silver inlay was common.
The use of carved exotic woods such as ebony, burr walnut and rosewood with the most intricate growth patterns that can no longer be found today was the trade mark of a quality gunsmith.
The pistols from this time, in many cases are works of art, never to be made again.
It was an age where most workmanship was done by family gunsmiths and the deign and quality was the pride and signature of their work.
