Vaughan Ships' Captain Percussion Large Bore Pistol

Description:
   I like this mid 19th century ship's Captain large bore percussion pistol made by Vaughan, and with a heavy 7" octagonal smooth bore barrel and a .65 cal bore this would stop a ship's mutiny being pointed at a morly crew! the action works well and has a silver inlaid band at the breech. The lockplate has fine chisel enraving and very fine engraved makers name hard to see with aged corrosion. Has a hand checkered whay looks like America walnut, and the barrel has no proofs found.May have been used in the Civil War, this looks like the workmanship from down south with a hammer gorged hammer Measures 13 3/8" overall.
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[JB1]
