• PAIR OF ENGLISH PISTOLS FROM THAME,
  PAIR OF ENGLISH PISTOLS FROM THAME, CIVIL PARISH IN OXFORDSHIRE CA. 1840 103/16" long The 19th century arms trade, sprung up in many different English cities and surrounding towns. The English were major players in this time period, with a cottage type industry, where many independent gunsmiths provide typical firearms to a large contractor. This style of pistol is the last major iteration of muzzle loaders. No longer was the lock fitted in a stock to meet the barrel, a cast or solid machined frame which contained all parts to fire the pistol, was a separate unit to which a barrel was fitted or in this this case the barrel and lower frame was made from one unit, with a top cover to shield internal moving parts. This innovation required a few positional tolerances to be held, but removed the Art of firearm making, enabling more machinists types to enter the field. These pistols were made by Job Tomlinson, the son of a tall clock maker. Job himself a skilled watch and clock maker. The smoothbore pistols are approximately .55 caliber, with attached swivel type steel ramrods, round knob hand checkered stocks, with hand engraved open scrolls throughout the frame and trigger guard, blued steel finish with hammer safety locks. Simple line inlaid gold accent at end of barrel. Original partitioned oak case with flip-up carry handle. Period powder measure, single cavity bullet mold, nipple cleaner, cleaning/ seating rod with screw type ball extractor, oiler, and old tin from caps, and some old cast balls not all related this pistol.
