Southall Quality British made Man Stopper, HOWDAH Pistol

Description:
This is a beautiful Howdah pistol, made by Southall, an excellent quality maker of fine British percussion pistols. This is a beautiful and powerful 9” Damascus 75 caliber bore Howdah pistol. The breach, tang, hammer, trigger guard and final are all nicely engraved. The breach plug has a gold band. The grip is nicely checkered and the ramrod auger tip has a screw on cover. There is a blank silver monogram plate behind the tang. The bore and mechanical function are excellent, sharp and crisp. The barrel retains 80% brown and the lock still shows nice case colors. The barrel is 9” and the overall length of this fine pistol is 15”. It would shoot a ball weighing almost 500 grains and would be considered a real man stopper for sure. The nice walnut wood stock, still retains over 90% of the original varnish. This early 1840s pistol is in excellent condition inside and out.
