[Morgan Gray]

Fine looking piece! Any history or background about it?

 

[TRIN]

Looks like a Queen Anne's pistol .

 

[Pukka Bundook]

Looks like George Gill; App to Samuel Blanckly, turned over to William Bailes, 1742.

He had very good teachers!
That grotesque mask was in use from at least 1740 into the 1780's.
It was also used by William Bailes, (not surprising), Benjamin Griffin, and later by John Twigg, amongst others.
A Very nice pistol!...Lovely condition too!

 

[Rudyard]

The stock condition is remarkable if its original . Still a nice piece .

Beautiful pistol, rifled or smoothbore? Lock function, half cock and full? Very nice, could this be a shooter?

 

[Rifleman1776]

Very interesting. But technically not a muzzle loader. I believe we will forgive you though.

 

[Pukka Bundook]

Rudyard,
Photos not the best, so cannot say for sure on stock.

Alaska,
Most of these are smooth bores.

 

[mloader40]

I am not sure but this pistol appears to be parts from an EJ Blackley set from England it is historically correct and could be a Muzzleloader loaded as a muzzleloader I do not think this is an original but as a modern reproduction of extremely high quality
This pisroj is smooth bore and is fully functional

Bump

 

[Rudyard]

Why Bump ?. It's probably worth that even if it was new thats no five minet job whoever did it . Did a good job for some such a piece its not out of the way .Some grease monkey in garage would charge like a wounded Buffallo
for nothing remotely as skilled .

[rickystl]

Nice job whoever did it.

 

[Pukka Bundook]

Blackleys certainly got the castings right.
The butt cap looks perfect!

Here's mine, C late 1740's

The asking price is Very reasonable for something of this type..

If you flip that last photo over, you will see another face......

 

[Rudyard]

I've concluded the model they used was Harold Wilsons' great great ' ".Er I promise you " " And I think I said that at the Brighton conference " Yours is the best quality .The cheaper ones he's smokeing his pipe !.
Cheers Rudyard
