!!!!!PRICE REDUCED!!!!! This is an unusual pair of 2mm pinfire pepperbox revolvers by an unknown maker, but they look English to me. Each is 2 1/2" long overall with a 1 3/16" barrel group. Brass frames, sideplates, and grip escutcheons. Blue steel barrel groups and grip screws. The bar hammer, spur trigger, are finished in the white. The two piece grips look to be fossilized mastodon ivory. The barrels must be manually indexed, and must be removed to be loaded.Cased in a walnut hinged top casing with flip latch. the interior English fit with a burgundy lining. Includes a screwdriver and a cleaning/ejector rod. I don't have a clue what the handles are made of. If anyone has any information on this pair of miniatures, I'd sure appreciate you're letting me know!
