Weapons of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are considered unsafe for actual use. These are antique collectible weapons of the Civil War (most are pre 1865, unless I state otherwise) and actual firing of these weapons is not recommended for any purpose whatsoever! Because these are all "pre 1898" weapons, no licenses are required for ownership, but common sense and good judgment are real good things to have.
W0818 Single shot boot
pistol, probably European origin
This small pistol was truly the weapon of last resort. It was small
and could be carried in a boot, hence is it is called a "boot pistol.
Single shot percussion, it is loaded by unscrewing the barrel, iron workings,
wooden grips, trigger without a guard, there are various marks and geometric
designs, presumed to be European origin, but if somebody has better information
I am open to suggestions.
Working order, nice looking little pistol.
Barrel length 3 inches.
Boot pistol, unknown origin
Sold!
