Cased Pair of Pistols by Shane Emig

This is a matched pair of pistols that are snugly fit into a walnut case, all of which was built by Shane. The Pistols are built in the Lancaster Pa style using Northern Curly Maple for the stocks. The barrels are custom made, both .54 caliber, one smooth and one rifled. These pair of pistols were built from a blank and feature Hand-Made sideplates and buttcaps. The triggers and small Siler locks were both heavily modified for this project. The walnut case was all hand dovetailed and all partitions were hand made and hand fit by Shane. Inside the case are all the accouterments you need to load and shoot the pistols. The loading rod and turn screw were hand made by Shane and the powder flask and brass oil bottle were imported from England. This set was made to reflect what a bran new cased pistol set would look like with no wear or patina.



Engraved Box by Shane Emig

This neat little box was chase engraved using hammer and chisel just the way it was done in the 18th Century.  The design was inspired by an early Dickert patchbox that features bilaterally symmetrical designs in the Baroque Style.  The entire design was All Free Hand Drawn.







Hand Made Knife by Shane Emig

The 6" blade on this knife was Hand Forged from 1095 spring steel.  It features a long clip point with a false edge which is a signature of Shanes work.  The handle is Curly Maple and is octagon, then transitions to 16 sided, and then flows right into the turned iron wedding band bolster that is between Sterling Silver spacers.  The face of the bolster is engraved by hand as well as the solid Sterling Silver Pommel.
