Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A very rare combined wheel-lock pistol and dagger, ca. 1550-60

Overall length 34,5 cm, the blade missing.

The images are rather poor, I got them from a small French auction house last year.

I attach a b/w image of a similar but complete piece at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
