Flintlock Over and Under Tap Action Pistol, ca. 1810
Steel frame with boxlock action, engraved with martial trophies and “DUTTON”
one side, “LONDON” other side. Sliding top safety and folding concealed
trigger. Clear London view and proof marks on underside of frame. Tap action
lever controls the firing of the round 1 5/8" turn-off barrels. Metal with
some light pitting and barrels show some abrasion, probably from attempting
to unscrew them, but it appears to be old. One-piece walnut grips (minor
dents and abrasions) with vacant silver escutcheon. Maker is probably John
Dutton, ca. 1790-1820, whose shop was in London. Overall length 6".
