.52 cal, 9'' barrel with a moderately oxidized smooth bore. The metal surfaces of this quality London pistol show an old light cleaning and toning to mild pewter gunmetal patina with remnants of smoothed-over pinprick pitting and old mild oxidation staining that is relatively minor. The pistol remains in the original flint and features a gold vent liner and top of barrel neatly engraved in script ''Bunney London''. The lockplate is also maker-marked and is equipped with attractive hardware including sliding safety and bridled roller frizzen. The barrel is secured by a pair of keys and the fittings are of iron, the triggerguard with attractive acorn finial. The smooth walnut stock with flat-sided grip remains in very good condition as lightly cleaned and showing a few small synthetic repairs along the edges and right and left of forend. There is a silver monogram plate atop the wrist neatly engraved with the initials ''RH''. A simple hickory ramrod is present and the pistol is sighted with a fine v-notch near sight and silver blade front. The lock with set trigger seems to function well mechanically. A nice pistol from this well-regarded London maker. (13A11579-2) {ANTIQUE} (1800/2200)
