This video from Brownells Gun Techs explores a pair of exquisite Jules Manceaux dueling pistols from 1843. The presentation-grade percussion pistols are heavily engraved and inlaid with gold, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The description highlights their historical significance, having been presented by King Louis Philippe to English naval hero Capt. Thomas Cochrane, the inspiration for Patrick O'Brian's 'Master and Commander' novels. The accompanying accessories, including the presentation box, nipple wrench, bullet mold, powder measure, and primer box, are equally elaborate, making the entire set a masterpiece of the gunmaker's art.
