A MOST UNUSUAL ENGLISH ANTIQUE PERCUSSION PISTOL BY BENTLEY AND SONS LIVERPOOL.
A most unusual English percussion pistol. The brass frame is beautifully engraved with floral designs. The percussion action is unusual as it is on the underside of the barrel rather than on the top, just in front of the trigger and they actually looks like a pair of triggers, pulling the first trigger back reveals the fitting for the percussion cap and it also cocks the pistols trigger into the firing position. Blued steel barrel engraved, BENTLEY & SON LIVERPOOL.The handle of the pistol is beautifully chequered and it is fitted with a blank silver escutcheon. A most unusual early Victorian percussion pistol, a very strange design / patent that i imagine was not very successful. [Condition: Exc++]

IMPERIAL GERMAN WW1 DEMAG FIGHTING KNIFE.
These rare WW1 fighting knifes are some times referred to as the crank handle knife for obvious reasons, it is very interesting fighting knife patern as the handle has a slotted fitting so it can be attached to a riffle and so converting it into a small bayonet. The handle still retains about 85% of the field gray paint finish and the bayonet fitting is still in perfect working order. Near mint blade, the obverse side is stamped DEMAG DUISBURG, and the reverse side GESETZLICH GESCHUTZE. The scabbard shows age and wear but it still retains much original black paint finish, complete with leather belt loop and grip retaining strap. A rare WW1 German army fighting knife, it has been many years since I had one of these to offer for sale. [Condition: Exc++]
NSDAP 15 YEAR LONG SERVICE MEDAL.
This beautiful example is the more heavy and substantial type and it is a very impressive award. Almost all silver frosting remaining to medal with excellent detail to the NSDAP eagle and swastika, the reverse side features the inscription, TREUE FUR FUHRER UND VOLK. The blue enamel is in perfect condition. There is some black age patina to the silver finish of the medal but it would easily clean if required. Complete with original blue and silver ribbon. In my opinion this is one of the most attractive of all of the Third Reich awards and have always been fairly difficult to find and are considerably under-valued considering there rarity when compared to the NSDAP 25 year medal or perhaps the Blood Order medal and are probably going to increase considerably in value over the next few years.
