ENGRAVED Antique British PRITCHARD Superposed SWIVEL BARREL Perc. Pistol
ENGLISH Over/Under SELF DEFENSE Pocket Pistol
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Engraved British Pritchard Marked Superposed Swivel Barrel Folding Trigger Percussion Pistol made circa the mid-1800s in Birmingham, England. Pistols of all sorts had by then become a common mode of pocket-sized firepower, though small revolvers were quickly eclipsing the single shot design. H.F. Wheeler was the man responsible for this design, which featured superposed double barrels that swiveled to access the next shot.
From the time that firearms were introduced, gunsmiths had experimented with various ways to turn those single shot weapons into multi-shot weapons. Prior to the use of “repeating” arms, one of the most successful systems was to use multiple barrels, each with their own load and charge. In Great Britain many pocket pistols were produced with two or for barrels, and sometimes even more.
The overall condition is very good. Patina throughout. The action is strong. The bores are dim. The grip is solid with minor crazing to the finish. Birmingham proofed.
