Silver Mounted European Style Pistol

Made by Wallace Gusler in 1971 for C. Jacqueline Reed.

The Bob Paris barrel and Siler lock were chiseled in the manner of ca. 1750-60 European pistols. The sterling silver mounts were case and/or forged at the CWF Gunsmith Shop. The stock is American walnut. This pistol is the first firearm to leave the shop with a charcoal blued barrel--just the round portion was left blue.

Note the chiseled pan bridle. The scroll under the pan says, Williamsburg. VA, 1971

Sideplate was raised from sheet silver.
