This is a vintage Val St Lambert crystal paperweight in the shape of a dueling pistol. It was made in Belgium during the mid-20th century using hand-blown glass production techniques and retains the original Val St Lambert paper label, as shown in the photos. The paperweight is an original piece and features a shiney blown glass finish.  It measures 10-3/4" long, overall.  It is in beautiful estate condition with NO cracks, NO repairs and NO restorations.  It appears there is only a small loss of the hammer tip, used by the thumb to cock the pistol.  The antique style, weight, and clear color make it a unique and functional paperweight as well as decorative item.
