Condition Report
Some general rust and corrosion throughout to both pistols. Both pistols hold at half and full cock and the cylinders revolve smoothly with the trigger. Chequered wooden grips in good order with no chips or cracks. One pistol appears to have a replacement pin through the frame. The internal rifling to the barrels is still quite strong but again there is some internal rust together with general dirt built up. Generally both in need of a good clean and preservation. 

Both moulds also rusty. Interior lining to case with some patches or wear and fading but no rips. The lock the case is broken (this lid no longer closes) and there is one large piece of wood missing to the exterior cover, together with other scuffs and dents.
