Rock
Island Auction Company is going to auction off a set of totally unique
pistols this coming May. The pistols, dating back to the Revolutionary
War, along with a set of epaulets, belonged to none other than Alexander Hamilton.
“Immensely
historic and impeccably documented pair of national treasure flintlock
holster pistols inscribed “AH”, and presented to Revolutionary War
patriot, Founding Father and first United States Secretary of the
Treasury Alexander Hamilton by General Philip Schuyler, accompanied by
Hamilton’s field service epaulets worn by him while serving as an
officer under Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and future
first President of The United States of America, George Washington.” (Photo: RIA More @ Guns America
