Description:
Early 1800s ENGRAVED Antique RICHARDS British .60 Caliber FLINTLOCK Pistol
Early 19th Century Self Defense Weapon
Here we present an antique British Flintlock Pistol, made circa the early-19th Century. This pistol has a fairly large frame and a large bore. Then as now, long guns were the primary arm of the day, useful for everything from hunting to combat. Pistols were certainly not as numerous but still very useful for combat since most firearms at this time were limited to a single shot. Imagine if one discharged their single shot firearm only to miss or have another enemy close the distance. A man expecting trouble might carry as many pistols on his person as he could. According to some estimates, European rifles were made at a ratio of 250:1 over pistols, making these rare and highly coveted.
The overall condition is good. The action functions properly. The bore is in good shape, smooth and gray. “RICHARDS” is engraved on the lock. All metal parts feature light and simple engravings. British Birmingham proof marks are stamped on the left side of the barrel. This example would display well in any early-19th century collection, especially those concerning Great Britain and the British colonial empire!
