WESTLEY RICHARDS ENGLISH PERCUSSION MANSTOPPER

Description:
The fine old English gunmaker WESTLEY RICHARDS ( the name and street adress appear on the barrel top) made this .78 caliber man stopper percussion pistol. .The quality and craftsmanship this company  is known for shows .. Made ca. 1820 this pistol would rate  very good plus under NRA  Condition Standards For Antique Firearms. It has a 5 & 1/4 " octogon  barrel and an overall length of 9 & 1/2 ".There are front and rear sights, a captive ramrod, a working sliding safety, (so there is no 1/2 cock position- not needed) a silver band on the barrel, ( a sign of quality craftsmanship) a  full length  checkered walnut stock  in excellent condition, an unmarked escutcheon plate, engraving on the hammer, lock and trigger guard. The action is strong.  The metal had been blued. Some shows on the lock, a little on the barrel. An antque method of repair shows on the left side of the stock. I suspect the damage was caused  when a bulet from another pistol struck this one,

A NO interest payment plan is available

A shipping charge  of $35- will be added
