content: Information from Leonid Lantsman, 2014: Fine 19th C. Dagestan Caucasian miquelet pistol entirely covered in chased and repoussed silver inlaid with niello enamel. The miquelet lock is covered in gold koftgari and on the underside features Islamic caligraphy. The finely crafted and tapered barrel is made of damascus steel and chiseled and overlaid with gold koftgari highlights. The butt of the pistol is missing the silver engraving that would have originally been there.
