Description

Here's a great "center hung" boxlock flint pistol that dates to the late 18th Century. It is marked "Lacy" on the left side and "London" on the right, attributing the gun to Edward Lacy; a gunsmith who was active in London from 1781 to 1843. Lacy made a variety of arms from holster pistols to flintlock muskets under Royal Government Contract. During the 19th Century he made double barrel, over and under, percussion pistols with swivel ramrods and belt hooks. In 1840, he partnered with another gunsmith by the name of "Reynolds" and began producing percussion pepperbox pistols under the name Lacey & Reynolds from 1840 to 1853

These flintlock "muff" pistols were very popular "concealed carry" weapons in the late 18th and early 19th Century. This particular example dates to the 18th Century, as evidenced by its "flat sided" receiver (19th Century guns generally feature round receivers).

The cock holds solid on both full and half cock. The frizzen spring is crisp. The foldable trigger drops down into the firing position and full cock; as it should. The barrel measures roughly .45 caliber and is in good condition with some rust in the bore, but no major pitting.

The original walnut grip is in excellent condition with no splits or cranks.
