Unusual Pair of Silver Inlaid Flintlock Pistols by Collis of Oxford

A) Collis Pistol

These large flintlock pistols are both signed "COLLIS" on the left and "OXFORD" on the right in banners. John Collis is listed as an active gunmaker between circa 1782-1798. Both pistols feature light engraving, sliding safeties, extensive silver wire inlays in the walnut grips with oval silver escutcheons bearing inscribed fancy script initials "WC," and 1800 hallmark dated silver mask pommel caps.

ConditionVery good with some slight fading to some of the engraving and markings, scattered light pitting on the iron, and lightly aged patina on the silver. The grip is fine with a few of the wire inlays sticking up and some light handling marks. Mechanically fine.
