According to a 1996 fax from Westley Richards with attached scan of the factory records book, serial number 796 shipped as "Pair Double Holster 25g Pistols", made in April 17, 1858 for Mr. E. Muntz. This consecutive numbered pair have browned, side by side barrels. The flat ribs are signed "WESTLEY RICHARDS 170 NEW BOND ST. LONDON". They have drift adjustable blade front sights and deep notched rears. Case hardened, foliate scroll engraved locks signed "WESTLEY RICHARDS". Engraved serpentine cocks with half cock safeties and platinum vents. Case hardened double triggers protected by a blued, scroll engraved guard. Guns have captured ramrods, the swivels engraved. Checkered walnut stocks with horn tips, vacant thumb plates, and engraved, case hardened cap box butts. Housed in a period English mahogany case, which has been nicely relined with a Westley Richards trade label. Accessories comprise a nice Dixon flask, Dixon oil bottle, brass tipped rod, and a contemporary Dixie Gun Works "600" mold. CONDITION: Excellent, as wonderfully restored. Nearly all of the very professionally applied finishes are retained. Engraving is crisp and clean. Stocks are also sharp with fresh checkering and some light handling marks. Bores are bright, with light frosting. Rifling is sharp. Crisp mechanics. Case and accessories are very good. An extremely attractive pair.
