This is an original English form percussion pistol made C1830. It is 11 ½” overall with a 6 ¼” octagonal steel barrel with brass bead fore sight. The barrels’ smooth bore is near mint clean and bright. The top barrel flat is faintly signed with indistinct initials and ‘Foxall Maker’ (there were several English provincial gunmakers named Foxhall in the flintlock / percussion era, we could not find any by that name working in London. Unfortunately the initials of the maker are unreadable which may assist identification of the maker) . It’s blued action plate and Dolphin hammer have foliate engraved decoration. It has a walnut full stock with no provision for ram rod and chequered grip panels. The stock has German silver stock mounts, roundel at the action and inlaid void shield. It has steel fittings including trigger guard with extended tang and acanthus bud finial. It's action works correctly. The price for this pistol worthy of further research to identify which of the Foxall gun smiths made this piece includes UK delivery.
