The image shows a single shot boot pistol displayed in a glass case. The pistol is made of metal and has a long barrel with a handle on one side. The handle is decorated with intricate engravings and the barrel is engraved with a floral pattern. On the right side of the case, there is a note that reads "Single Shot Boot Pistol. The boot pistol was a reserve weapon small enough to conceal even in a boot. Single shot weapons like this one and others were used early in the war because the number of soldiers enlisted early in war on both sides out paced the availability more modern weapons." The background is blurred, but it appears to be a museum or exhibition space.
