Description:

These early-1800s officer's style pistols are marked "Paris &/Son" on the center of the locks which have semi-waterproof pans, frizzen spring rollers, and sliding half-cock safeties that also lock the pan closed. The barrels are marked "Sileby Leicestershire" in matching script and have what appear to be period spurious London proof and view marks. The vents have gold liners. The stocks are checkered at the wrists and have simple pommel caps.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus with a fairly bright barrel, brown and gray patina on the balance, some light pitting, and various minor marks. The stock has a slight chip and crack at the tail of the lock, crisp checkering, some small nicks and scratches, a tension crack at the rear lock screw, and small dents.
