This 14-inch-long side arm dates to around 1785 and other than an old coating of varnish is in unmolested overall condition. The 8 1/2-inch part round part octagonal barrel is brass and bears deep London proofs. On the top barrel flat one reads the remnants of "LONDON", and it is manifest that proceeding this was a now worn maker's name. The barrel tang is iron. The caliber is .65. The brass lock plate has nice, foliated engraving and no evidence of a maker's name. It is original flint and steel and functions perfectly. The trigger guard ending in an elongated acorn and the 2 ramrod entry pipes are brass. The ramrod appears to be the original. The walnut stock is very good with no breaks or gauges. There is a small piece of wood out at the tail of the lock, but this has been missing a long time. The pistol was made without a metal butt plate. This is just one fine example of the many quality pistols we currently have from the 18th and 19th centuries. [pe][ph:L]
