Antique ENGLISH Engraved WILLIAM CHANCE .45 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pocket Pistol Early 19th Century LONDON Made with Post-1813 PROOF MARKS
Description: Antique ENGLISH Engraved WILLIAM CHANCE .45 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pocket Pistol Early 19th Century LONDON Made with Post-1813 PROOF MARKS Here we present an antique William Chance of London Flintlock Pistol, made circa 1820 in London, England. William Chance was a gunmaker in London from 1830 through 1860 and was known for his Indian Trade guns. This self-defense pistol would have been most at home in the pocket of anyone in the busy city of London during the tumultuous times of the early 1800s. The “Pocket Pistol” name says it all. They were the "Saturday Night Specials" of the 16th-18th century. Before the Deringer, they were "Gentleman's" or "Muff Pistols", typically, a smaller pistol that was easily concealed. They were favored among the gentry and women because of these traits. Men would carry them concealed in a waistcoat pocket and women would hide them in a hand muff. It was of course, made primarily for self-defense, and very well would tell stories if it could. Much happened in Britain, in its colonies and abroad during this period. Its .45 Caliber manstopping bore would have been very intimidating if by chance you were on the receiving end. The overall condition is very good. The action is strong and tight. The bore is in good shape for its age. “Wm CHANCE” is stamped on the left frame, while the right reads “LONDON”. The grip is seated firmly against the frame despite the small repair on the right side. Multiple Birmingham proof markings are stamped on the underside of the barrel. Add this wonderful display piece to the collection today! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 1-3/4 inches. Caliber: .45 Flintlock Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1075 #201297 SOLD Antique: Yes |
