Description:

Listed for sale is a very nice original English made Percussion Belt Pistol by John A. Blanch.  Although the pistol is not marked except for several proof marks the appearance and unique style is identified as one matching a similar pistol marked by Blanch. The gun contains two Birmingham proof  marks on the barrel.   John A. Blanch was a quality  gun maker in London from about 1809 to 1848. This gun is about  .67 caliber and is a smooth bore. The octogon barrel is about 4 1/2inches long. The ramrod is the captured style but the gun is missing the part that holds the ramrod to the gun.  The  barrel and, lock, hammer and guard appear to be nicked.  The gun is tight and the action holds in both half cocked and full cocked position.
I have only recently started to sell on guns International.  I have however been selling on Gun since 2006 under the log in name of vankeurenmj with over 119 items bought and sold with a feedback rating of 100%.   If interested in one of the items I am going to sell please check on my selling history with to see how I do business.  As with any antique if you have any plans on shooting it please have it checked by a Gunsmith. Very few of the weapons I own do I ever shoot.  Also please make sure that it is legal to own this weapon in your state.
