Title Pair of overcoat pistols
Nationality British
Period c 1830
Sold

This is a fine pair of bronze-stocked pistols, covered in high-quality engraving, both on the barrels and stocks. From the engraving, I would judge these are Birmingham products rather than London. The barrels measure six-and-seven-eighths inches. The back-action locks have nice, crisp actions.

The calibre is between .45 and .50. There are no visible proof marks, but these could possibly be under the stocks.
