ANTIKVITY PRAHA: ARMS & ARMOUR, DEC 1st
posted by editor@armsandarmoruauctions.com at 2024-11-21 09:18:00
Antikvity Praha's next auction features an exceptional selection of antique arms. Headlining the sale is a late 17th-century Austrian silver-mounted presentation sabre with fitted case, estimated between €22,000 and €30,000. Other notable edged weapons include a late 19th-century Austro-Hungarian presentation sabre with an earlier blade and a Pappenheimer rapier.
The auction also boasts many early firearms, such as a remarkable South German sporting Wheelock rifle, a striking Baby Le Mat two-barreled centerfire pistol, and a rare factory-engraved Volcanic pistol (Smith & Wesson No. 2) with an iron frame.
A wide range of flintlock pistols is available, including a pair by Hans Perztman of Freistadt, a pair of officer's pistols by Nicolas Noël Boutet, a pair of late 18th-century French silver-mounted naval flintlock pistols by Royet Frères, and a pair of Belgian silver-mounted flintlock pistols by H. Meunier (mentioned in Liège in 1764). Also featured is a cased pair of flintlock pistols by Pierre-Nicolas Boutet, made in Versailles.
Among the percussion pistols, the catalog includes a cased pair of English saw-handled percussion dueling pistols by John Blanch, a Bohemian pair by A. Gutwirth of Louň, a cased pair by Houllier Blanchard of Paris, and a pair of very early double-barreled percussion pistols by Boucheron-Pirmet of Paris.
