Finland’s finest antique firearms are being sold on Huutokaupat.com; the best possible selection now available!!!

The finest item in the collection: a completely original, double-barrelled howdah-type percussion pistol, from around 1850.

Genuine; no purchase permit required.

Museum quality, as shown—unique and magnificent!!!!!!

Muzzle-loading!!

Fired very little!!

Approximately 36 cm long, with an approximately 15 mm calibre.

Works well and is probably shootable, at least after basic servicing and lubrication!!

Magnificent Damascus patterns on the barrels, with superb figuring and striping—the best possible!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful engraving!!

Unrestored, neither ground, polished nor even opened for an age; Belgian marks beneath the barrels!

Snail-flap compartment in the end of the grip!

Even the ramrod is original!!!!

Some old dents and repairs to dry cracks in the wood, but it is intact, fine and fully functional—and examples like this do not come up for sale!!!!

Blank silver monogram plate on the grip; have it engraved as a 50th-birthday gift for someone interested in firearms, or as a Christmas present—it is guaranteed to be the best gift of all!

An officer’s weapon or similar, perhaps a baron’s weapon.... Numbering on the wood, possibly an army inventory number or museum collection number, etc.

An original pistol, not made from a shotgun!!

A fine and handsome valuable firearm with magnificent barrels!!

Bid now while you have the chance; more like this will not be appearing, so there is no point asking afterwards!!!!!!!
