Description:
NSN, .44 Caliber, 2 5/8" barrels with very good, mildly pitted bores. This is a handsome pistol, made in the early 19th century, that has a tap-action pan allowing for either sequential or volley firing of the top and bottom barrels. The barrels and box frame have a pleasant, mottled gray patina throughout, with scattered spots of plum-brown freckling present throughout. The frame also has engraved designs on both sides with "BATES" maker’s marking on the left side, and "LONDON" on the right. Crisp London proofs are present on the underside of the frame. The tap, frizzen, cock, and sliding safety latch are mottled gray and the action is firm and fully functional. The smooth, bag-shaped walnut grip is in good condition, although there are small handling marks and blemishes throughout. This was almost certainly the product of John Bates, who was a London maker that operated 1810 & 1825. All-iron tap-action pistols are less frequently encountered than the brass pistols, and this example rates very good-near fine overall. Antique
