Scottish Highlandpistol by John Murdoch of Done
For the friends of Scottish arms here fotos of what I think is a very fine pistol made by John Murdoch of Doune. The barrel of the pistol has 8 flat grooves, a back- and a frontsight. The postman brought it yesterday.

Fantabulous
Hey Udo ...
You should have told the postman that the correct address for this wonderful baby was not yours ... but mine. I shall cry over such mistake  .

Congratulations, Udo. That is a pistol of superb quality and in such good condition, as you obviously know. It would almost make a pair with my John Murdoch pistol! I also have an Alexander Campbell but still searching for a Thomas Caddell (any of the dynasty) at a reasonable price.

That is a magnificent pistol, can you forward to my address? I have a post lady who delivers to my door and I'm in the country!

An exceptional pistol indeed, made for an officer, no doubt. Many of the steel Scottish pistols made for infantry troops of poorer quality, especially after 1770's, but the higher rank officers had choice pieces. Green with envy-

When it one day will leave my house it will surely go back to the country it once came from.
