C1840 English Richmond 54 Bore Percussion Pocket Pistol With Brass Action & Turn Off Steel Barrel. Sn 23488 - 23488

This is a very good percussion pocket pistol signed Richmond (we cannot find a gunmaker named Richmond working in the flintlock / percussion pocket pistol era in our books). It has a just under 3” turn off blued steel barrel. The barrel's smooth bore has light staining and residue consistent with age & use. The overall length is 6 ¾”. The underside of the brass action and barrel have English black powder proof marks. It has a Dolphin hammer, steel trigger, steel trigger guard & sliding safety bolt that works as it should. One side of the action is signed ‘Richmond’ within foliate decoration, the other side has foliate decoration. It has an undamaged walnut bag shaped grip which has just light bumps and bruises to be expected. The cocking & firing actions work as they should. The price includes UK delivery. NB As an antique percussion pistol no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. Sn 23488
