BRACE of Antique WOOD & SON Percussion DUELING PISTOLS .60 British DUELERS

Beautiful MATCHED PAIR of ENGRAVED DUELERS

Here we present a Pair of Engraved Antique Wood & Son Percussion Dueling Pistols, made circa the mid-1800s in York, England, shortly after the percussion firing system was introduced. Purpose-built dueling pistols have various improvements to make them more reliable and accurate, such as longer and heavier barrels, spurs on the trigger guards, occasionally saw handles, platinum-lined touch-holes and hair triggers. All component parts were manufactured, hand-finished and then adjusted with great care and precision, which made dueling pistols much more costly than standard firearms of the period. Special care was taken when molding the lead bullets to ensure that there were no voids which would affect accuracy. Pistols were carefully and identically loaded, and each duelist was offered his choice of the indistinguishable loaded pistols. As duels were generally fought at short distances which were paced out, typically 35 to 45 feet between stationary opponents, extreme accuracy was not required.

The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The actions are excellent. The bores are in good shape and are smooth. Stocks are solid throughout.
