A pair of very unique pistols

This pair of pistols built in 1820 (1820!..) by the Swiss Rochat brothers, when fired they release a small bird that sings and dances on the end of the pistol.

The mechanics put into these would be difficult today let alone 200 years ago.

Made out of gold, and only 4 other pistols in existence, these are amazing.
