Engraved 17th Century French Dueling Pistol

The French knew their way around a duel. In fact, it's said that the duel was actually invented in France. That fact has been disputed, but there is no disputing the death toll that dueling took in France.

This intimacy with the duel gave the French quite a bit of experience to draw from (no pun intended) when they designed their pistols. That, combined with the famed French stylishness made their dueling pistols some of the most coveted in Europe.

This particular non-firing replica is a devastatingly elegant gun, based on an actual dueling pistol from 17th century France. It is long, graceful and fearsome.

This is a truly beautiful weapon; stylish and powerful and hard to put down. Buy one or a pair of these weapons and stake your claim upon honor and nobility.
