The flared brass barrel has turnings at the muzzle. The bottom is fitted with a spring-loaded triangular bayonet measuring 5". The breech is marked with two Birmingham proofs. Scalloped boxlock action of brass, left side engraved with "Williams" in an oval surrounded by florals and arms motifs. Opposite side engraved with florals and flags. Action features a sliding tang safety and reinforced cock. The iron trigger guard slides back, releasing the bayonet, which springs into place. Plain Circassian walnut grip. Original horn-tipped wooden ramrod mounted on right side with two brass ferrules. CONDITION: Brass polished and retains a mellowing patina, showing some wear to markings and scattered marks from use. Action tang screw is a replacement, in its original flintlock configuration and functions properly. Grip is shy to action on both sides. Bayonet mechanism is strong and functions properly. A very nice turn of the century brass boarding pistol. DMG
