This is an excellent pair of percussion pocket pistols made C1830. The matching pistols are beautifully engraved with foliate decoration. Both have Dolphin hammers and sliding safety bolts. One side of each pistol is marked by the manufacturer or retailer which reads either ‘E. Shaddick’ or ‘E.S Haddick’ and the reverse 'Taunton' (we cannot find this gunmaker in our books). Both measure 5 ¾” overall & have just under 1 ¼” turn off barrels. The barrel’s smooth bores have just light staining. A tool is required to assist barrel removal, we do not have the tool. Both pistols have concealed folding triggers & the underside of the actions & barrels have black powder proof marks. They both have undamaged bag shaped wood grips mounted with void white metal void silver escutcheons. Their cocking & firing actions work crisply. The price for this pair of percussion pistols worthy of further research regarding the maker includes UK delivery. NB No licence is required to own these antique percussion pistols in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 21393:58
