Civil War Era dueling pistols

[BJB]

Good Evening Gentlemen 

I have come across a set of pistols that is very interesting. Who would be a good person to get these evaluated/Appraised

I know these are Civil War era French made pin fired dueling pistols

Well, you could try Rafael Eledge, down at Shiloh Relics in Savannah, TN.  

Here's his website:

Thank  You Sir

There's a man in Vicksburg, MS who runs a civil war/firearm museum. He'd be the man I'd ask.

I can also highly recommend a trip to his museum.

This looks to be a similar design, but I expect you already found it.

Hey Greg. 
just now seeing this, work has been crazy. I have tried Shilo Relics several times with no success. I will try Vicksburg and see if I can get a response 

thank You

Sorry to hear that you never heard from Shiloh Relics.  Not sure why.  

[BJB]

Yeah. 
I sent several emails with no response. And I’m not finding a phone number for them

You sure those aren't Belgian?

[BJB]

Garuda , honestly I’m not 100%

kinda why I would like to get them checked out. In my research the are identical to the French pin fired

I did the Google myself and saw a couple of pics nearly identical to yours that claimed they were Belgian, that’s why I asked.  Otherwise, I haven’t a clue.

Put Ian McCollum on the case, lol.

Wanna put some Kevlar and helmets on and recreate the Burr vs Hamilton duel?
