Gunsmith Anton Schaller Suhl Germany

French, Belgian and English Pistol Cases are relatively common here in Europe.
Germans are rarely found on the market.
I just had to say yes.

More on the couple later.

Would appreciate hearing more about this set when you're able. I'm ignorant when it comes to this type of thing. Are these dueling pistols?

 

[Stykbow]

Another beautiful set of pistols!

Exceptional set of what 1st appeared to be highest quality target pistols. !!!
The gold lions/tigers & what appears to be larger sized bores indicates they might also have served as backup pistols for hunting dangerous big game.
Bores in photos appear a bit larger than normally seen in target pistols, what caliber are they ?
I believe this is the first time I've seen a replacement set of nipples displayed in a cased set.
Appears they also feature single set triggers with cleverly hidden set screw adjustments.
Thanks for sharing

11.6 mm converts to about a 45 cal. I believe.

Holy moley.....

Hours and hours and hours and hours making those. Are the rear sight blades elevation adjustable via the inset screw in the breech, or is that the trigger adjustment Relic Shooter mentioned?
