介绍（中）	这些手枪是图拉军火厂为在1801年亚历山大加冕典礼上向皇帝（沙皇）亚历山大一世及其三兄弟赠送的一系列特别设计的豪华枪支的一部分。四个兄弟姐妹中的每一个都得到了一件由五支精心装饰的狩猎武器组成的装饰物，包括一支滑膛猎枪、步枪卡宾枪、大口径步枪和一对手枪。这些枪械在图拉兵种中独树一帜，因为它们的新古典主义设计、技术精湛以及复杂而独特的装饰。有了这份礼物，图拉工厂不仅向其帝国赞助人致敬，还展示了其著名的技术专长和精湛的工艺。图拉工厂的纹章醒目地展示在每件武器上这些手枪是为康斯坦丁大公制造的，是俄罗斯新古典主义武器最精致的体现。装饰虽然丰富，但比早期的洛可可风格要克制得多。蓝色或高度抛光的钢表面，加上精致的镀金和镶银装饰，也是图拉金属制品的特点。库存中的银色装饰基本上被简化为底座周围的框架，除了主人金色花押字周围大胆展示的奖杯和皇家皇冠。扳机和扳机护板的穿孔和凿刻处理在图拉火器上非常罕见，但这是图拉生产的家具和装饰艺术品的一个明显特征。
介绍（英）	These pistols form part of a series of specially designed deluxe firearms made by the Tula Arms Factory for presentation to Emperor (Tsar) Alexander I and his three brothers on the occasion for Alexander’s coronation in 1801. Each of the four siblings received a garniture, or set, of five elaborately embellished hunting arms comprising a smoothbore fowling piece, rifled carbine, blunderbuss, and pair of pistols. These firearms are unique among Tula arms with regard to their neoclassical design, technical sophistication, and complex and distinctive embellishment. With this gift the Tula factory not only paid homage to its imperial patrons, but also showcased the technical expertise and virtuoso craftsmanship for which it was famous. The coat-of-arms of the Tula factory is prominently displayed on each weapon. Made for Grand Duke Constantine, these pistols epitomize the most refined expression of Russian neoclassical arms. The decoration, though abundant, is nevertheless considerably more restrained than that of earlier rococo examples. The blued or highly polished steel surfaces, highlighted with delicate gilt and silver-inlaid ornament, are also characteristic of Tula metalwork. The silver ornament in the stock is essentially reduced to framework around the mounts, with the exception of the bold display of trophies and imperial crown surrounding the gold monogram of the owner. The pierced and chiseled treatment of the trigger and trigger guard, very rarely found on Tula firearms, is nevertheless an unmistakable feature of furniture and decorative art objects produced in Tula.
