(A) LOT OF 3: HALL ACTIONS, ONE TURNED INTO A PISTOL.

Lot consists of: (A) Rather crude, possibly Confederate percussion pistol fashioned from an 1819 Hall breech block. Block is marked "J. H. HALL / H. FERRY / US / 1826". Flintlock pan has been removed and a nipple fitted. Percussion hammer is currently spurless and appears to have been this way for some time. The roughly carved grip is attached with nails and a brass strip. CONDITION: Poor. Overall oxidized brown patina. Stock shows heavy wear and cracking, some cracks partially repaired in the period with tacks. Action requires some attention. (B) Unconverted 2nd type 1919 Hall breech block with flint lock. Block is marked "J. H. HALL / H. FERRY / US / 1831". CONDITION: Good. Overall chocolate oxidized patina. (C) Percussion converted 2nd Type 1819 Hall action with side plates. Breech block is marked "J. H. HALL / H. FERRY / US / 1834". CONDITION: Good. Dark, oxidized patina. Nipple is somewhat crushed. An interesting grouping. PROVENANCE: Ex. Ciak Collection.
