(A) ENGLISH BRASS BARRELED FLINTLOCK PISTOL.

Octagonal to round barrel is separated by a wedding ring at the girdle, signed "London" across the top flat, with light floral engraving on 3 flats. Very slightly swamped barrel. Offset private Tower proof marks comprising "(Crown) / (Crossed Scepters)", and a beaded edged at tang. Iron tang with floral decorations, lost towards rear. Trumpted headed ramrod feeds through a single brass ferrule that is integrated with the forend cap (also brass) and feeds into a simple reinforced mouth. Unadorned iron lock with swan neck lock, bridled waterproof pan. Brass trigger guard with beaded edges and central floral and an acorn finial. CONDITION: Very good. Brass appears to have been cleaned at one point, with legends somewhat softened and micro polishing marks visible, and a few spots of scattered darkness. Lock has an even oxidized appearance and, given the quality of the balance of the pistol, may be a replacement. Iron strap behind barrel has some pitting towards rear that has damaged decoration. Stock is very hood with some marks from handling and storage throughout, and 1 crack that runs from just underneath the cock all the way to the side screw on the other side of pistol. 1 repair next to trigger guard that appears to have been executed with iron. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with even oxidation throughout. While unsigned, this is a good quality pistol.
