The pistols measure almost 20" in overall length and are long and slim. The silver mounts are exceptional being heavy, substantial and beautifully embossed all over.
These pistols are fitted with under the barrel ram rods of almost 12" in length that are topped with very attractive green glass tips. The barrels gold accents are particularly nice and these pistols present very attractively.
