	MLAGB: Pistol FAQ
		Single shot duelling pistols and their later derivatives as percussion target pistols are generally to be found in good condition as they saw limited use.
		Duelling pistols - and to a lesser degree target pistols - followed a uniform pattern, but other types of pistols are similar to the inexperienced eye yet inferior for modern target work.
		Pistols of very high quality and retaining much original finish will be needlessly expensive for shooting whereas minor damage or missing parts reduce the collector's value and can make a cheap shooter even after the restoration work is paid for.

		Duelling had long been considered the honourable way of settling disputes between gentlemen, but with the rise of the middle classes the institution was extended.
		Pistols with rifled barrels were denounced by the codes of duelling, but some had ‘blind’ rifling which stopped a few inches short of the muzzle and gave the impression of a smoothbore.

	The Old World from A-Z: D is for Duellist
		Many of the duelling teachers are famed warriors who fought their way to positions of prominence, others seek to earn the respect of the nobility by rivaling them in duelling skills, thus many merchants and others hire the same teachers as do the nobles.
		For less pressing issues, duelling serves as a means of harnessing the more aggressive instincts of nobles and provides them with a socially acceptable outlet for their personal foibles.
		The rules surrounding duelling are extensive and varied and it may take years, or even decades, to master them as each school of fencing, each culture, and even each court has its own particular customs, laws, and standards regarding duelling.

		Duelling is one of the most romanticized aspects of the old gentlemanly code of honor.
		Through most of history, the duelling weapon of choice was the sword, which a gentleman carried at all times, the better to defend both his person and his honor.
		The pistol rewarded nerve as much as skill: a steady hand was needed to hit a target, not easy when the target was at the same time aiming at you.

	Schulers Books (The Code of Honor - 1/4)
		Before his death he added an appendix of the 1777 Irish duelling code, but this second edition was not printed until 1858, as a 46-page small book, still sized to fit in the case with one's duelling pistols.
		To publish a CODE OF HONOR, to govern in cases of individual combat, might seem to imply, that the publisher was an advocate of duelling, and wished to introduce it as the proper mode of deciding all personal difficulties and misunderstandings.
		Those, therefore, who condemn all who do not denounce duelling in every case, should establish schools where a passive submission to force would be the exercise of a commendable virtue.

		Estimate £10,000 to £15,000 Made by Le Page Arq.er Du Roi A Paris, the pistols dated 1830 and the brass escutcheon in the lid of the case is engraved 'Earl of Lucan'.
		As these pistols were manufactured in 1830, the Earl of Lucan whose title appears on the lid may have been either George Charles Bingham, 3rd Earl (1800-1888), or his father Richard Bingham, 2nd Earl (d.
		In the absence of any owner's coat-of-arms, crest or motto on the pistols or case, it seems likely that they were acquired at some point after their manufacture, rather than ordered directly from the maker.
