A fine pair of Belgian Pistols

[Bayer1957]

I was finally lucky again.

J.B. Ronge Fils from Liege/Belgium.

Proven from 1832 - 1929 as a weapons manufacturer.

I`ll just let the pictures do the talking.
Later more.

Mad at you? no! Jealous? Yes!

 

[TonyF]

Amazing set of pistols, What type of steel are the barrels made of?
Damascus ?

 

[Sam squanch]

Simply amazing!!! I don’t know if I could carry that powder flask though…….

 

[DOUBLEDEUCE 1]

Beautiful !
What is the flat head screw for in the bottom of the barrel channel near the breach ?

 

[Rich44]

Well, that's a keeper!

 

[Powder Flask Collector]

This is a great pair of cased pistols. I never before have seen such a complete set of accessoires in a case. Appearently all original.

The powder flask made by Boche a Paris and with the mythic figure of Hercules ( charcterised by the skin of the Nemeian Lion ) is not often to find.

Congratulations.

I can not find the right adjective!!!!

 

[Colonial Boy]

Jealousy is a sin.
”pheacaigh mé’”, which is Irish for “I have sinned”.

 

[Boomerang]

Wow! Is that barrel all engraved by hand?

I think the barrel is made of a very special Damascus steel.

Maybe Bayer1957 can tell us more?

In the net I found the hint, that the barrel might have been made of so called turkish damascus steel. "Turkish Damascus Steel refers to a specific structure of a special Damascus steel or its pattern and not the country of origin. Basically, Turkish Damascus Steel consists of at least 3-5 (depending on the definition) counter-twisted Damascus strands (courses). " (Türkischer Damast / Turkish damascus steel)

Thank you. That should be the correct answer,
Here are a few more pictures where you can clearly see the winding.

Thanks for deciphering the figures.
The meaning wasn`t clear to me.

 

[Boston Bill]

WOW! Not my thing but they are gorgeous!!!

 

[Powder Flask Collector]

It is amazing how the barrel gunsmiths in Belgium were able to make such an artwork in primitive shops only by hand. It seems they were rather poor.
