Can anyone help me with further info and perhaps value on this (apparently very rare?) Russian 1735 Tula pistol? Peter I the Great got the weapon production started in Tula in 1712, so this is an early pistol, but I can't find any like it from the 1730s! The closest I can find is a pair in somewhat the same quality, but from 1747, that went for €21,000 (Pair of flintlock pistols "TULA 1747", — catalog 64: Auction of art and antiques | Download high quality photo | Buy at an affordable price design, poster, lot 304)!! I wonder if this could be worth a third of that? Any help is much appreciated!
