James Farmer was a Birmingham gunmaker and Ordnance, East India Company, and Company of Merchants contractor and later partnered with Samuel Galton. This pistol features a rounded "banana" profile lock with the Georgian cipher at the center, "FARMER/1745" vertically at the tail, double line borders, and a "crown/broad arrow" mark below the bridled priming pan. The smoothbore barrel has "IF" on the left and Ordnance proofs on top. The furniture is brass. The wood ramrod also has a brass tip. The stock has the swelled profile at the entry point, shaped tear drop flats, and a raised plateau around the barrel tang. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection
