Dad built these pistols a few years ago. He finally built a case for them and their accessories. Case is figured walnut, lined with green felt.

Very nice. There is a lot more work to something like that than one would think.

50 caliber. They are more accurate than I can shoot them.

Then probably not made for dueling. Dueling pistol were not known for accuracy..

Grooved or smooth bore?

Vinke, rifled.

Offhand, with a single hand, I can keep 10 shots in a 9 inch circle at 25 yards.

Vinke I don’t know crap about squat. Only said dueling pistols because there’s two in a box like “okay guys, settle your crap. Here are two guns “ laugh

Those look incredible. That box is great too.

Very nice,,,,especially with the delayed action, and the weight all in the front.

Vinke,
The handles are shaped just right for our hands, you can kinda lock it in, and the weight of the barrel just levers the pistol in tighter to your grip. They've got 13 inch barrels, but the barrels are swamped (wide at the breech, narrow about 2/3 of the way out and a bit of flare at the muzzle). This helps keep weight down but retain balance. Being young(ish) and string helps too.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, my dad enjoys reading them.
