Date: dated 1849.Commissioned by the renowned Paris gunmaking firm of Le Page, these are the only known pistols executed by Antoine Vechte (1799-1868), a virtuoso silversmith, sculptor, and chiseler, who was famous in his day as the "nineteenth-century Cellini" in reference to the accomplished Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini. The pistols are unique in their all-steel construction and in the variety of highly original Renaissance-inspired figural ornament. This pistol was exhibited at the French Industry Exhibition in Paris in 1849 and perhaps shown again, along with the other, at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All NSome lockplates have markings - a small hole or the letters S (spannen or spanned’) and O (ontspannen or not spanned’) - to show whether or not a wheellock was spring loaded. This is a typical feature of Dutch wheellock firearms. There are even two letters S on this pistol’s lockplate. The scrolled S was probably just an ornament.Bajonet Horning with a flint rifle, Frans Musket Modèle 1777, Royal Rifle Factory Culemborg, 1807 - 1809 bayonet Bajonet horizing with a flint rifle, Frans Musket Modèle 1777V. Culemborg steel (alloy)Colt Navy Percussion Revolver, Confederate Model, serial no. 2651 1862-64 Samuel Colt American In 1835 and 1836, the American inventor and industrialist Samuel Colt (1814-1862) patented a revolutionary type of multishot pistol that is still used today. Colt's revolvers had a rotating cylinder that could be loaded with several rounds and fired quickly by cocking and releasing the hammer or, in later models, by simply pulling the trigger. Early Colt firearms used percussion ignition and had to be loaded with powder, bullets, and ignition caps in separate operations. After 1870, Colt models were produced for self-contained cartridges that are much like modern pistol ammunition.First manufactured by Colt's factory in Peterson, New Jersey (1836-42), from 1847, the revolvers were made at a much larger plant in Hartford, Connecticut. A special workshop at the Hartford factory employed highly skilled decorators and artisans, many of German origin. Their ornamental motifs, still popular in AmerFlone bag gun.
