Bead front and notch rear sights, with light border engraving on the muzzle of the Damascus barrel, a crossed scepter proof on the lower left flat, a gold border band at the breech, and gold inlaid leafy vine work on the top flats surrounding "London." The frame, trigger guard and swivel ramrod rib are German silver, showing a floral engraving on the bolster, a fish head pattern on the blue hammer, border designs across the top of the back strap spur, a blank inscription banner opposite the lock and fine scroll engraving. The buttplate is steel with blue finish, scroll and border engraving and a hinged lid for the percussion cap compartment. In a purple velvet lined mahogany case containing both pistols, an ebony handled cleaning rod, nipple wrench, a single chamber bullet mold, lacquered cap tin, two lidded compartments and a three-way powder flask. The inside of the lid had a maker's label, which is absent.

Very fine. Clear Damascus patterns remain on the barrel with some brown finish and showing very minor flash pitting around the nipple and a small chip absent from the hammer. The engraving is deep and crisp and the German silver shows minimal wear. Mechanically excellent. The accessories are fine to very fine. The case is fine, with the lining turning brown and showing mild staining and wear. There is separation of the top panel of the lid and overall some scattered scratches and pressure dents.

As "A".

Very fine with a mixed brown and gray color on the barrel, which shows a small amount of pitting, strong Damascus pattern, and a tiny amount of absent gold inlay. The German silver is excellent, with light spotting and handling marks, and the hammer and buttplate show 60% of the original blue, the remainder a brown patina with mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent. An outstanding pair of high quality English percussion saw-handle pistols.
