3 1/4-inch octagonal etched, twist-steel barrels finished in-the-white and inlaid in two-colors of gold void-shaped panels formed along each of the barrels' eight edges with A.V. LEBEDA IN PRAG (No. 1 pistol) and A. V. LEBEDA A' PRAGUE (No. 2 pistol) and floral scrolls.

Finely checkered triggers, varnished walnut half-stocks carved at grips with floral scrollwork surrounding four panel scenes of mythological themes. The stocks are set with gold escutcheon shield-form plates surmounted by crowns and engraved with the intertwined initials W.W.; mounted with scroll-engraved triggerguards each gold-inlaid with a family crest surmounted by a crown, four-sided scalloped gripcaps bearing a checkered pattern and two-color gold scroll inlay. Horn mallet with polished German-silver loading tip, blued ball mold with polished steel sprue-cutter, horn-handled nipple wrench, pressed-horn bag flask (lever broken) with wire stitching, the whole contained within a rosewood veneered case having a waisted-rectangular shape and lined with red velour (now turned to dusty rose) and having a gilt-stamped red silk interior to lid (also fading to a dusty rose).

Condition: Excellent, case lid interior lining with some wear to surface and gilt-stamping and expected fading of silk lining's color, case lacking one compartment lid.
