Description:
SOLD .A british Sea Captains belt percussion pistol of about 62 cal, with an 8 1/8” octagon barrel with a fair bore showing moderate verdigris. The barrel, triggerguard and other brass fittings have taken on an attractive mild ocher patina showing a few scattered light dings and small areas of minor tarnish. The left barrel flat shows crisp Birmingham proofs and the top flat is neatly marked “LONDON”. The lockplate and hammer show generous case-hardened colors throughout along with some scattered old oxidation staining and toning to gray-brown patina. The lock shows some light simple foliate embellishments and is marked “SHARPE” in the center. The checkered walnut grip remains in about good condition with age staining, this private purchase gun oddly has French walnut with sap staining, and some overall light dings. The checkering remains intact and quite nice showing some mild ingrained soiling and there is an un-engraved German silver monogram plate atop the wrist. A brass-tipped mahogany ramrod is present and the lock functions crisply. These private purchase pistols had a large bore to dissuade any mutiny attempts. A most historical and fine quality made sea service pistol.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
