British Percussion Muff Pistol by Clarke of Leicester
Description: SOLD A very fancy, unusual ferringer sizedpercussion pistol that looks like a pepperbox with a deep fluted round barrel of about .54 cal, 2 1/8” ribbed barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces of this pistol are mostly a dark gray patina showing a few spots of light oxidation staining and some fine pinprick pitting. The upper tang is clearly marked “CLARKE / LEICESTER”, the sides of the frame are embellished with attractive English scrollwork and the hammer is chiseled into a fish head style. There is a very attractive German silver lion’s head grip cap, he looks a little peculiar however as the affixing screw slot has been utilized as the mouth. The smooth walnut grip remains in about very good condition showing a thin 1” crack at the top left edge, a few tiny chips around the edges and scattered dings. The grip is embellished with lovely silver wire inlay although unfortunately most of it has been lost, with a few sprigs, small leaves and a clover present on the backstrap and left side along with a blank monogram plate. The action is functional but the mainspring is rather weak. No doubt this pistol was quite attractive back in the day; and it still has plenty of character. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You SOLD Antique: Yes |
