are you sure it is not Blisset and 1864? Either way looks like it would be fun to shoot

Yes Mooncoon you are right it is Blissett my mistake but it is 1854 without a doubt

That's a good looking old pistol. Are you going to fire it? Should be fun. When they get up to .70 cal. and up, they were nic-named man-stoppers, and for good reason. That would leave a terrible mark.
