In addition to the Damascus pattern barrels, the other various components have scroll engraving and detailed borders, and there is also a stand of arms design on the trigger guard. The stocks have ﬁnely carved dog’s heads at the forend tips, checkering with scroll carved accents on the wrist, ﬂoral carving around the edge of the pommels, and steel caps. They come in very attractive ﬁgured hardwood case with "G . & W. Pistor / in / Schmalkalden" inside the lid and interior closely ﬁtted to the pistols and the set of matching accessories (bullet mold absent), which include rods (tips absent), mallet, cap / ball container, powder ﬂask, screwdriver, nipple wrench, powder measure, patch punch, and rear sight adjustment key. Fine condition with distinct Damascus patterns, light gray and brown patina, bright gold, some minor spots of oxidation / discoloration, and natural aged patina on the bands on the barrel; 40% original case colors on the lock and furniture, crisp markings and engraving, and generally only minor storage wear. The stock is very ﬁne aside from a reglued chip on the left by the side plate and has crisp checkering and carving, smooth oiled ﬁnish, and a few minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
