Two flintlock pistols with dark brown stocks, displaying intricate silver inlays and gold accents; the stocks feature designs including swirling patterns and floral motifs; the metal components show engravings with similar themes. The grips have silver caps at the butt ends. Each pistol has a small trigger, a flintlock mechanism at the rear of the barrel, and a ring for the index finger below the trigger. The background is plain and light gray. Pair of Flintlock Pistols by Samuel Brunn.
