介绍（中）	苏格兰的高地战士携带着独特的武器。与英国其他地方制造的手枪不同，他们的手枪完全由金属制成，通常是钢，并雕刻并经常用银镶嵌凯尔特灵感的几何和叶子装饰。这双鞋由珀斯郡杜恩的著名枪械制造商坎贝尔签名，是这种类型的经典例子。其中的标志性特征包括滚动的"公羊角"枪托、按钮形扳机（不带扳机护罩）、公鸡头部后面的装饰性穿孔花环以及安装在锁对面的皮带钩。这些手枪也值得注意，因为它们的美国协会。握把上刻有Abrm M. Embury/New York 1830的银色牌匾，表明它们属于纽约一个杰出家族的成员。手枪异常清脆的状况证明了它们作为珍贵的传家宝保存了近两个世纪。
介绍（英）	The Highland warriors of Scotland carried distinctive arms. Their pistols, unlike those made elsewhere in Great Britain, were constructed entirely from metal, usually steel, and were engraved and often silver-inlaid with geometric and foliate ornament of Celtic inspiration. This pair, signed by the renowned gunmaker Campbell of Doune, Perthshire, is a classic example of the type. Among the defining features are the scrolled "ram's-horn" butts, button-shaped triggers (without trigger guards), decorative pierced rosettes behind the head of the cock, and belt hooks mounted on the side opposite the locks. These pistols are also noteworthy for their American association. The grips bear silver plaques inscribed Abrᵐ M. Embury/New York 1830, identifying them as having belonged to a member of a distinguished New York family. The pistols' unusually crisp condition testifies to their preservation as treasured heirlooms for almost two centuries.
