Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice early 19th Century Flintlock pistol, which was then converted to percussion for further use. The lock is marked GRIERSON / LONDON and the top of the barrel is marked with the makers full address:
GRIERSON 10 OLD BOND ST LONDON
From what we can find, there was definitely a Charles Grierson at 10 "New" Bond St., but there is not much about one at "Old" Bond St. We also have seen the names Joseph Griffin and John Grierson also associated with this address. Definitely worthy of further research!
The pistol has all iron mounts, and the barrel measures 9" and is about .59" in bore, with an overall length of 15 inches. It still has a ramrod, though the brass tip is missing, and the entire rod may be a replacement. The lock is functional, and holds at half-cock, firing at full. There originally was a half-cock safety on the lock, but the end tab to slide it forward has broken off. It features a very nice walnut stuck, with a checkered grip, though the nose cap is missing.
