Probably made by an English gunsmith, this pistol was originally made as flintlocks, the pistol was later converted to percussion locks, a more advanced mechanism, probably in the 1820s or 1830s. The conversion was a common and economical method of updating a firearm as technology advanced. Dimensions: L: 13 3/4 in., (35.5 cm.) All parts are tight, light rust to the metal parts, good action.
