RARE Antique DUMOUTHIER Double Barrel Percussion KNIFE Pistol ANTIQUE IVORY
PARIS Made SIDE by SIDE Pistol/Knife Combo
Here we present a rare antique Dumouthier Double Barrel Percussion Knife Pistol made circa the mid-1800s in Paris, France. This intimidating a beautiful weapon was designed by Joseph-Celestin Dumouthier in Paris in the mid-19th century. His surname is regularly seen spelled both as Dumouthier and Dumonthier in period sources and modern works. He was active from 1840 to around 1900 and is listed in period sources as originally from Houdan in northern France.
Bladed pistols had, by that time era, already been manufactured for multiple centuries in Europe for use as hunting sidearms used to finish off wounded boars and other game. Some of these fascinating weapons are known to have been given to world leaders, including Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico, which is now in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago. The blade is marked “DUMOUTHIER” and “BREVET DVN” above and below the left barrel respectively. The upper section of the quillions pull back revealing the nipples and serve as the hammers. When the right hammer is pulled back, the folding trigger extends. Pulling the trigger first engages the right hammer, and then, once the trigger is reset, it can be pulled a second time to engage the left hammer. The grips are a spiral pattern of antique ivory. The blade is 8-3/8 inches with 3-3/8 inch round barrels.
The overall condition is good. Gray patina throughout. Etchings still visible on both the blade and the barrels. The action of the right hammer is strong while the left hammer will hold the cocked positions but is not dropped with a trigger pull. Bores are dark. Ivory grips have several cracks and remain tight to the tang.
