Richard and Andreas - many thanks for your efforts. I have made a note of Wm Beckford, Lord Mayor of London, or one of his close family (father or son only, to fit the date of the pistols), as original owner.
My kind regards to you both. Neil |

I forgot to say that the trigger guards can slide forwards at half-cock to act as a safety catch.

Neil,
You don't have to worry about the differences in the engravings, as this was largely up to the engraver to interpret. Best, R. |
