Item Details
Low Estimate1000
High Estimate1500
.60 cal, 9” barrels with about good bores showing moderate verdigris. These pistols have been reconverted to flint, the cocks, pans, frizzens and frizzen springs being more modern aged replacements showing a deep plum-brown finish. The lockplates are original, some of their markings lost or worn due to the fitting of the later parts and a couple of their letters refreshed. The barrels are a pleasant medium goldenrod patina showing some light tarnishing, a few scattered small dings, and some tiny punch-marks emulating “pitting” around the touch holes. The barrels otherwise retain nice markings with their original Birmingham proofs and “LONDON” surrounded by a flourish. The lockplates and other iron hardware are a deep gray and plum-brown patina and the remaining hardware is of brass consisting of ramrod thimbles with tailpipes, triggerguard with vague foliate extensions and starbursts on guards, flat s-shaped sideplates and small monogram plates atop the wrists engraved with initials that appear to be “RJK”. The fittings are a mild ocher patina showing some small dings and one tailpipe with some more moderate denting. The walnut stocks remain in very good plus condition showing a few thin cracks and small repaired chips along some of the edges of both stocks, scattered dings and other handling marks. The stocks otherwise retain nice fit and an honest appearance. A pair of horn-tipped hickory ramrods is included and the locks seem to function normally. A very good pair of pistols from this classic British maker. (13B11451-4,5) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
