Engraved JOSEPH KEMP Officers/Travelers PERCUSSION Self Defense BELT Pistol
English Percussion Pistol Made Circa the 1850s!
Here we present an antique Joseph Kemp Percussion Pistol, made circa the 1850s in London, England. Joseph Kemp was a successful gunmaker who worked out of several different shop location throughout the 1840s. There are no entries in the British gunmaking directory for Kemp after 1850, although its likely that he joined up with his brother as it shows the “Kemp Brothers” were list all the way through 1860. So, this pistol was likely made in the middle of the 19th Century. This pistol features a large .75 caliber “manstopping” bore that would have been worn on the belt or holstered as it was carried into battle. This is a neat old pistol and one can easily imagine the sight of its gaping bore would certainly be a deterrent to would be scoundrels.
The overall condition is good. The action is strong. The bore is good. Light engravings adorn the lock and trigger guard. The stock is in good shape. The fore end cap is absent. “JOSEPH KEMP” is engraved on the lock. “JOSEPH KEMP 115 JERMYN STt LONDON” can be read atop the barrel.
