This is a beautifully designed pistol. It was sold by one of the premier fine quality retailers of weapons int he Antebellum South, Hyde & Goodrich of New Orleans. As for the gun itself, it is wonderfully hand crafted. It fires a single shot of about .50 caliber from the full-length barrel. The gun measures 16 inches in overall length with the barrel making up 10-1/4th of those inches. It is made with the octagonal barrel with unique textured "damascene" etching going down the full-length of the barrel. What makes it extra special is that it has the gold inset lettering in a gold inset frame "HYDE & GOODRICH NEW ORLEANS". The name is beautifully crafted. The gun is iron mounted with the iron trigger, and also sports an adjustable rear notch sight, as well as the inset fine blade front sight. Enhancing the display, it has the lock, breech, side plate, triggerguard, and tang that are relief chiseled in the backgrounds. On the bottom of the grip, it has the buttcap that has the finial. The 1-piece dark wood stock has fluted & relief carved grip. There are some old age cracks but it still displays quite well as you can see. This is an exceptional piece from the foremost New Orleans retailer, Hyde & Goodrich.
