This 'Saturday night special', with the name 'TERROR' on the top strap, is actually quite a good example of this type of pistol. The grips are ivory, the nickel silver finish 90%+ and with original calf leather holster. The back-up pistol of the cowboy era and traveller's companion in the later 19th century.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
