Congratulations Corrado!
They are both beautiful and early pistols.
I must say thought that the first one you acquired is a really stunning example!
Beautifully filed up and finished. I particularly like the faceted body of the action. Very high end work!
I do not think I have seen the lion buttcap before. Lions, yes, but not This lion!
The sideplate I have seen, but would need to look up where.
Lovely pieces altogether!
Best wishes,
Richard.
