This finely made miniature wheellock pistol measures 3.75 inches overall and comes from an unknown maker. It is listed used under SKU CUR306 in the antique tools and curiosities category. The supplier believes it is a modern piece but not a recent one, estimating at least 50 years of age. There is a repair to the ivory just behind the lock, where lock and barrel meet.

It is presented in a jeweler's case lined with blue felt, and the felt dye has crept into the ivory, leaving a bluish tint along the left side. A spanner wrench and a touch-hole pick are included. This is a display piece for a Delaware collector of miniatures or early ignition systems rather than anything to shoot; it is catalogued as a handgun here, so the dealer transfer and purchaser permit rules shown on this page apply to it.
