Antique ENGLISH Engraved CALVERTS of LEEDS .49 Cal. FLINTLOCK Pocket Pistol
Early 19th Century YORKSHIRE Made
Here we present an antique Calverts of Leeds Flintlock Pistol, made circa the early-1800s in Leeds, Yorkshire. John & William Calvert were gunmakers at 73 Briggate, Lowerhead Row and Commercial Street between the years of 1797 and 1865.
This pistol is a crisp round-framed pocket pistol with a round turn-off barrel engraved with a band of foliage at the muzzle. It has a beautifully engraved box-lock action fitted with a sliding safety catch and is signed on one side of the breech 'CALVERT' and 'LEEDS' on the other. The action is decorated with a stands-of-arms along with a bag shaped walnut butt, cut with deep checkering. Calvert’s shop in Leeds was known to make boxlock flintlock and coach pistols, and later began making dueling pistols and percussion revolvers.
The overall condition is very good. Strong action—will throw a good spark. Bore is in good shape for age: smooth and dim. Sharply checkered grips, low handling and storage wear. Nicely engraved frame and barrel.
