LACY & COMPANY BOX LOCK Percussion Pocket Pistol
Nicely ENGRAVED “London” Marked Mid-1850s Pistol
Here we present an antique Lacy & Co. Percussion Pocket Pistol, made in England circa 1853. This pistol is small, light and simple. This “Pocket Pistol” name says it all. They were the "Saturday Night Specials" of the 16th-18th century. Before the Deringer, they were "Gentleman's" or "Muff Pistols", Typically, a smaller pistol that was easily concealed. They were favored among the gentry and women because of these traits. Men would carry them concealed in a waistcoat pocket and women would hide them in a hand muff. Bore is a massive .48 caliber. There are three British proof marks on the underside of the barrel.
This one appears to have been originally a flintlock before being updated to the more reliable percussion firing system.
The overall condition is very good. Iron surfaces very dark patina. Markings and engravings are clear. Hand-checkered walnut grip is in great shape. Bore is smooth. Action is excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 1-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .48 Percussion
