British Converted .65 cal. Holster Pistol


Description:
With a .65/.66 cal, 9 1/2” round barrel with a lightly oxidized bore. The barrel and lockplate of this pistol are mostly a mild gunmetal and gray-brown patina showing some sparse fine pitting and oxidation staining that is relatively minor. The breech shows two very strong period proof marks and the lockplate shows some simple line bordering and is marked only “WARRANTED”. The pistol is converted with drum and nipple method, the bolster also with some light embellishments, and the original flintlock plate was utilized for the conversion. Brass fittings include the nosecap, tailpipe, triggerguard with simple finial, buttcap and flat sideplate all toned to an attractive ocher patina. The smooth walnut stock remains in very fine condition showing a few thin drying cracks, light dings and handling marks, the edges and fit otherwise quite nice overall and the stock maintains an attractive appearance with some rather nice subtle straight grain figure as well. The top of the grip shows a period marking “W / 38”, what is likely the original steel ramrod is present and the lock seems to function crisply.These were imported before and during the Civil War and often issued to Naval units, and many times the maker name was scrubber.A rather attractive British pistol for the antique arms collector.  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
