Value on these hand cannons ?

[KYgotGOLD]

Hardly know anything about them other then they have someone’s home crafted antler handles lol. Brothel gun and a pin fire? Any details or value info. No personal attachment just an fyi. Paper weights if u ask me, or framed. All Mine I like to get use out of. There are markings on em I’ll get that later to y’all. Cooler then an old dime if u ask me.

Pretty cool. I can’t tell much about them though.

Those are extremely old and have value.
That is Ivory ... not antler.
IF the condition was better you would be looking at some money... and still worth some money to collectors to restore.
They should stay together as a pair as well.

I don't see the grips being ivory. They look like antler to me that have been shaped down into the porous centers as seen on this 🔪 i have with an antler handle.

They are not elephant Ivory.
But that is not antler.

I still think antler. I've had elephant ivory, walrus ivory, elk teeth and orca teeth ivory in my hand and close up to my eyes over the year. To me these are typical 2nd half of 19th century personal protection firearms. You would often see guns of this type and era at gun shows in the 1970s for less than twenty bucks. I bought one similar to the revolver probably 1976 for $18.00. I think I traded it later in life for an average somewhat worn-out Elgin pocket watch.

I personally have never seen antler used as grips.
Knives yes.

It would be better if the OP would update the post with better pictures, detailed info on the makers of the 2 pieces.

Antler pistol grips is a commonly used material and have been for some time. They're more often described as Stag handle grips.

I will pull them out the safe soon. I do know the little one has a 121 on it along with other markings. But that’s not enough info. As soon as I get them out I’ll update the post

It appears that the bigger one (pin-fire) is a Lefaucheux pinfire revolver, not really sure on the model but to me other than the grips and the "pin" below the barrell it looks like this one.

Close all the research I’ve done had both leading to Belgium

 

[AU Seeker]

The little one looks like a Flobert or Flobert style starting or parlor pistol.

It hard to try and ID these without some to determine size, possible caliber sizes, etc., the more info from the OP the better!!

I plan on getting the markings asap. Small is a .22 the other idk pin fire sizes but looks like a 32. I do know the small one has a 121 marking on it. They both have visible markings I can’t recall what they are

 

[xr7ator]

Far from any expertise but couldn't the grips be non stag bone as well?

The small one being a .22 caliber it's most likely a Flobert parlor pistol, they were made to shoot indoors in the comfort of your "parlor" or today would be your living room, you would put a in 22. cal. short black powder cartridge and they would shoot at a small targets for fun seeing who could be the best shot, I guess this what they did for family fun before board games!! LOL
