Brescian firearms traditionally employed mounts of relief-chiseled iron; silver-mounted examples are extremely rare. The form of these unsigned pistols and their distinctive style of rococo-inspired decoration, with panels of gilt ornament within the silver, recall similar decorated examples bearing the name of Francesco Bigoni of Brescia, apparently a firearms decorator, who is recorded in Brescia in the 1740s.
