I found a box of my father's things tucked away in a cupboard. As well as a number of relic boxlocks, four powder flasks and a couple of other pistols there was this one by Cook of Bath. It caught my eye because of the mounts. I had forgotten about it but now I remember seeing it as a boy. I would not normally present an item in such a condition but I felt it was justified because of the quality. It is shown as found without even a wipe of oil which I shall see to straight away. I do not believe the mounts are silver, because they would be black after all those years hidden away.

If he did, he did not pass it on to me. I am sure he intended to restore it but life got in the way.

I do know that the local police passed on a Nock conversion to him because they did not know what to do with it. It had been handed in by an old lady who did not want it in the house.
