New member needs info. to identify and determine value of civil-war era 7mm pinfire pistol. I've found no identifying #'s or data on this small pistol- it has 3 1/2" double round bbls., engraved nickle-plated frame, fluted/engraved ebony grip with engraved nickel-plated end cap. The only info. I've seen on the internet describes a 7mm pinfire, double-barrell handbag pistol with a timber stock from England, circa 1860. The person I bought it from displayed it in a hand-made wooden box, claiming this civil-war era pistol, circa 1855.
Any info. to assist in further identification/value of this piece would be greatly appreciated. My experience/knowledge in firearms is in modern issues and the only reason I bought this at the time is that I was "drawn in" by the fact that it was civil-war era. Thanks.
