Huutokaupat.com sells Finland's finest antique firearms,

here is another example of a luxury, museum-quality weapon!

To the highest bidder.

World-class, museum-quality, top-grade Damascus pocket pistol

from a magnificent Nordic private firearms collection/museum.

Has been displayed and extensively photographed at arms fairs in Denmark, Sweden and in Turku.

Unique and of the very highest quality.

Authentic — no purchase permit required.

Muzzle-loading quality firearm, circa 1730–1770.

At least 250 years old.

Length about 47 cm and calibre about 15 mm — a huge pistol.

Mechanisms work excellently; in firing condition.

Very little fired.

Gorgeous Damascus barrel — stunning pattern.

Germany/Austria/Bavaria.

Fine engravings and a magnificent lock.

This firearm is so beautiful the pictures tell more,

remember to view it before bidding!

This is not a replica despite its excellent condition; if in doubt,

bring your expert and come inspect it.

This gentleman's pistol is for the collector who wants a rare, unique and beautiful firearm — and even to shoot.

In the 1700s only the very wealthy could afford such a bespoke weapon,

barons, counts or royalty....

It would be fascinating to know which great men have held and fired this.

Such pieces are very rarely for sale and never in Finland..

These beauties were not made in large numbers; they are collector's rarities and

they usually remain in museum collections...

Here is a unique opportunity to bid on one.

Note!

Turku arms fair on 12 April at Metsämäki racecourse where there will be many sellers; I will also be selling firearms from my collections...

Firearms auctions always end on Sunday evenings!

Payment for the lot must be made by the bidder within 5 days, otherwise a 10 per cent

administration fee on the hammer price will be charged, which is enforceable for collection.

Additional payment time can be arranged if agreed before bidding.

Defects and other observations

Patina and small old repairs.

You are welcome to inspect before bidding to avoid complaints later!

In very nice condition for its age but not perfect, of course, being at least 250 years old...
