These pistols were manufactured c. 1778 based on the "F" date code among the Birmingham silver hallmarks on the furniture. The silver has "CF" maker's marks as well for Charles Freeth. The silver furniture has scroll and floral patterns along with classic grotesque mask pommel caps. The locks are both marked "JOINER" in banners near the center and have floral scroll and border engraving. The smoothbore barrels each have "JOINER LONDON" signed on top at the breech, London proof marks on the upper left flat, floral engraving, and girdles. The stocks have raised relief shell carving between the blank wrist escutcheons and the barrel tangs. The wood ramrods have light horn tips.

Rating Definition:

Very good with mostly bright lock and barrel exhibiting some minor pitting and patches of darker patina, attractive aged patina on the silver mounts, and minor overall wear. The stock is also very good and has crisp carving, some minor hairline cracks and repairs, and general light dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
