RARE PAIR OF CASED AMERICAN FLINTLOCK DUELING PISTOLS.

RARE PAIR OF CASED AMERICAN FLINTLOCK DUELING PISTOLS. SN NSN. Cal. 50 each. This is a rare pair of American Flintlock duelers with smooth bore bbls measuring 9-1/4″. This is a nice matching pair with bbls marked “P. WAGGONER/SCHENECTADY”. Oct bbls are also engraved at the breeches and on the “Ashmore/Warranted Locks”. The bbls have no proofs lending to the theory that guns are totally American made. Guns measure about 14-1/2″ each overall and present beautifully in their English style fitted case with powder flask, ball mold, screw driver and cleaning rod. There is traces of brown striped finish on bbls and glossy blue finish still found on trigger guards and ramrod thimbles that are mounted to stocks. There are silver escutcheons found on stock opposite lock, behind bbl tangs and also utilized as key-way escutcheons. This is a beautiful set of American duelers made in New York in very fine condition and cased American duelers in flint rarely come to market. CONDITION: Both guns appear orig and authentic in every regard and are nearly identical in condition showing areas of thin brown striped finish to bbls with remainder smooth and gray with some pitting especially at breech near touch-holes. Engraving on bbl, lock, hammer and mounts is crisp and well defined as can be seen in photos. Much of the orig blue finish is seen on trigger guards and engraved ramrod thimbles. Lock and hammers show traces of muted case color with balance being a smooth silver/gray. Stocks are sound and solid with sharp edges, crisp checkering with scattered small dents and scratches. Wood ramrods both appear orig with horn tips and iron tool threaded “worms”that are in good and solid condition as are horn nose caps. Actions and mechanism are functionally fine. Casing is sound and solid with repaired break in top of case, hinges are newer replacements. Red velvet liner to lid and partitions is faded and worn and has several glued repairs to partitions but all appears to be orig. The two handled wood covers also have breaks and repairs as can be seen in photos. 4-46658 JS169 (15,000-25,000)
