This is a typical Birmingham pistol (no maker's name), with Birmingham proofs on the barrel, the type of weapon that people would have carried for self-protection in the rough and tumble years of mid-Victorian Britain. It would deliver a devastating blow at short range (calibre approximately .50). It has a chequered walnut butt with an inlaid white metal escutcheon. The barrel unscrews and the hammer would appear to be an old replacement. Mechanically it is sound. The overall length is 7 1/2 inches. |
