GOLD BANDED & SILVER MOUNTED Antique T.H. POTTS Percussion POCKET Pistol
Pre-CIVIL WAR ERA Self Defense DERRINGER Pistol
Here we present an antique Gold Banded & German Silver Mounted Civil War-era T.H. Potts Percussion Pocket Pistol, made in England circa 1848 to 1854. One of the London based arms makers that has always had a strong Civil War association was the firm Potts & Hunt. The firm of Potts & Hunt was established in London in 1854. The lineage of this gunmaking firm went back to Thomas Potts, who operated the firm from 1828 through 1847 and was succeeded by his son, Thomas Henry Potts in 1848.
In 1854, Thomas H. Potts and Thomas Hunt formed a partnership known as Potts & Hunt, and that partnership remained in business beyond the end of the Civil War in 1867, when the partners split up and went their own ways. Research shows that much of Potts & Hunt’s commercial production of Enfield rifle muskets that were manufactured in the early 1860s was sold to both Confederate and U.S. buyers during the course of the American Civil War, though these Potts & Hunt rifles have historically been characterized as “probably Confederate”.
The overall condition is good. The hammer does not hold in the cock position. The bore is smooth and remains very good. Fine stock and checkered grip. Nicely engraved lock, hammer, barrel tang, and trigger guard. Gold inlaid barrel breech band. Markings are legible. Light damascus patterns are present on the barrel. Solid brass ramrod.
