Brace of Single Shot British BELT Pistols by Hopkins, London 1800s Sidearms
A Pair of Piratey Pistols with Belt Hooks!
Here we present an antique English Percussion Pistol, made circa the mid-1800s likely in Birmingham, England. This pistol features a large .48 caliber “manstopping” bore that would have been worn on the belt or holstered as it was possibly carried into battle by a soldier purchased for himself who was wanting a backup weapon. 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 and would have made a stately weapon for self defense in mid-19th Century Britain. It would have felt right at home in a gentleman’s coat pocket or inside a lady’s purse or muff.
The overall condition is good. The actions are strong. The bores are smooth and patinaed. The stocks show wear, are generally smooth and solid. There are stable cracks on both pistols on the left side, where the screw and belt hook are located (common in this type of pistol). A very neat brace of belt pistols!

Barrel is 6 inches.
