Bavarian Pistol Set

Rikkn · 18th January 2019, 11:42 PM

OK,,,, I got them. Not sure if a good deal or not, but I am happy !! Just finished playing with them, wiped them down lightly as they were coated with vasoline ! I will have to do a much better cleaning someday. The detail on them is spectacular, as is the wood. They also have adjustable triggers and do not appear ever to have been fired. One of the tools I cannot figure out - looks like some kind of puller (?). Any idea what the opaque material is that was used on the flask ? Here are more pictures.

Doesn't tool ??? have a sharp circular edge ? A patch cutter, that would be ...

If you're happy then you got a good deal.

Were these meant for dueling do you think?

I’m certainly no expert but I’d say the opaque material on the powder flask is horn.

Oh, silly me

I misinterpreted Rikkn's question on this one.

As both pistols have a set trigger and because of the separate butt these are certainly no duelling pistols but are made for the shooting range.

Naturally; neither the mounting stock would be applicable.That would be cheating

.
On the other hand, such 'composite' set only for target shooting, is a bit unorthodox, don't you think ?

corrado26 · 20th January 2019, 02:12 PM

Why not shoot with the stock attached? It certainly depended on the rules given at the range and the kind of competition - the same as today

The way i view it, one either enters a shooting contest for the hand guns discipline or for that of the shoulder arms or, if he registers for both, he would take with him distinct equipment to the shooting club. I never thought of a competitor enter a tournament for target pistol and later in the day switch to a musket shooting session by adding a stock extension to his pistol/s.
But make no great deal of what i am saying; i may be talking nonsense
