VERY FINE CASED PAIR OF DOUBLE BARREL FLINTLOCK GREAT COAT PISTOLS BY LACY & CO

01-27981 | Cal. 62. | S# NSN.

Lacy & Co was working at Fenchurch Street London from 1822-29 where these fairly late flintlock pistols were made. They have 6-1/4″ twist barrels engraved “LACY & Co LONDON” on top ribs. Inset patent breeches are fitted with platinum touch holes and platinum lines at rears. Breech irons are engraved with feather bursts and scrolls. Case hardened locks with rounded flat plates feature serpentine cocks with safetys that engage at half cock, fully developed waterproof pans, bridled roller frizzens with large rollers on feather spring that have bulbous finials with teats. Locks are engraved with geometric borders and some floral scroll. Lacy & Co is under each pan. Blued double triggers are in case hardened trigger plates with stylized pineapple finials. Steel trigger guards are engraved with arms and music books on bows. European walnut stocks with checkered fishtail grips attach to barrels with side bolts through oval silver escutcheons. Vacant silver crest plates are at tops of grips and ebony ramrods with horn tips and brass tails (worms under caps) mount through thimbles with engraved shell finials. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: pistols are housed in their original mahogany case with circular “D” ring handle and pivoting hook closure. Interior is lined in green cloth. Bottom compartment holds pistols and what appear to be original accessories including an unmarked steel nutcracker bullet mould of correct caliber, very fine unmarked powder flask with intertwined serpent body, rosewood, brass and ebony loading rod and the original key to lock. Two covered compartments with turned bone knobs hold some balls, flints and a cleaning jag. Also included is the invoice from James D. Julia Auction dated 3/11/2014 listing purchase price of $26,450.00.
STATUS: ANTIQUE.
