Description:

This remarkable 18th Century French Dagger Pistol represents one of the most ingenious weapon designs of the Colonial era - the combination piece.

Historical Background:

Combination weapons, particularly dagger pistols, were highly prized by military officers, naval captains, and gentlemen during the 18th century. These dual-purpose weapons provided both ranged firepower through the flintlock mechanism and close-quarters combat capability with the dagger blade. French gunsmiths were renowned for creating some of the finest combination pieces, which served as both practical weapons and status symbols. The dagger pistol was especially popular among naval officers who needed versatile weapons in the confined spaces of ship-to-ship combat, where a single weapon that could shoot and stab proved invaluable.
