HISTORY This Italian dueling pistol made in Brescia in 1825 is a fascinating example of firearms from that era. Located in northern Italy, Brescia was known as an important center for weapons production. Percussion pistols are firearms that use a percussion mechanism to ignite the powder. This mechanism gradually replaced the older flintlock mechanism in the first half of the 19th century. Percussion pistols became popular in military and civilian circles and were used for self-defense, hunting and sporting activities such as shooting and dueling. During a duel, each participant would typically preload their pistol with powder and a bullet. When the signal was given, the opponents faced each other, aimed their pistols and fired at the signal. These dueling flintlock pistols were not only functional weapons, but also status symbols and works of art. They were often decorated with engravings, silver or gold-plated details, and often had beautifully crafted butt plates and grips.
