These very distinctive pistols have rare German silver barrels with extensive scroll engraving, "London" on top, Birmingham proofs on the bottoms along with "HM" (both) and "WI" (pistol "A"), and swivel mounted ramrods. The niter blue breech plugs are German silver banded, and the furniture is also German silver. The locks are casehardened. The locks and furniture also feature scroll and floral engraving. The pommel caps include small compartments. The stocks are an unusual variation of the "saw handle" design with a long projection at the top and a curved grip similar to a birdshead grip. The pair comes in a fitted hardwood case with purple lining, a powder flask, loading and cleaning rods, and a large cap tin.

Very good with lightly aged patina on the German silver, strong niter blue on the breech plug, traces of case colors and gray and brown patina on the lock, minor oxidation, and general mild age and storage related wear. The stock is fine and has crisp checkering, some scratches and dings, and smooth finish. Mechanically fine. The case is good and has mild age and storage related wear, including some chips and cracks.
