Pistol Identification...

[cwtalker15]

Here is an unusual single shot pistol that I would like to identify. What do you think? Thanks for your help!

It appears to be an English percussion smooth bore pistol that usually kept in a case set with a second identical pistol. These are commonly called a dueling pistol but more accurately should be called a traveler's pistol.

I would add that this appears to be used as a photographer's studio prop. It is too large to be the individual's belt pistol.

Hmmm.... even if the pistol was a studio prop, has anyone seen other guns that are similar? How about some pix of other (and similar) dueling pistols?
