Staudenmayer Pair of Flintlock Pistols

A fine pair of flintlock 38br single barrelled carriage pistols by Staudenmayer. These pistols although obviously made as a pair and are identical except for one interesting feature... the lock for one pistol is engraved Staudenmayer and the other Ja Wilkinson. I can only imagine that the pistols were made by Staudenmayer and the owner lost the lock to one of them and for some unaccountable reason he had Wilkinson make up a replacement.

 

Both pistols have very crisp locks, gold touch holes, roller steels and half cock bolts. Breeches are engraved London. Engraved iron furniture, browned 6&1/2” barrels, breeches with traces of colour case hardening, and both original ramrods, one with its worm.

 

PRICE: £1950
