High quality double-barrel antique cartridge-era blackpowder pistol with highly engraved frame, raised carved hardwood, possibly ebony, grips. Fancy scroll engraved triggerguard, pull-down lever. Gold inlaid on barrel “Broqua & Scholberg A. Monte Video” in gold letters with fancy gold borders and gold lines at breech and muzzle. The pistol is numbered “3” at center of frame behind the pins. The rear of the frame is marked “Dopose GS 204”. The pistol is 11mm smoothbore and shows approx. 50-60% thinning blue finish on barrels. The frame shows bright or satin finish with some minor discoloration, normal aging, and no cleaning. The frame is high relief engraved with figures of bird and dog. The grips are very good with just some slight edgewear. The action is crisp, the pistol is at least very good overall. The pistol measures 12” overall with 6-1/4” barrels and there are Belgian proofs on the underside. We date the pistol about 1870’s to 90’s and is of a style well-liked in the 19th century in South America, although a much higher than normal quality pistol that was expensive in its day.
