This c. 1780 pistol signed "GILL" on the left, likely for Thomas Gill of London, uses a lightly engraved boxlock action with a lever on the left that rotates the pan to switch between four powder charges to fire the four barrels in succession. The barrels are numbered "5" through "8" starting on the lower right indicating this is the second pistol from a pair. The underside has Ordnance private proofs. The pistol has a sliding safety latch and is mounted with a smooth walnut grip with a blank shield-shape silver escutcheon on the rear.
