				 |  Another pair of Q. Anne pistols 
			
			For those suffering withdrawal symptoms after enjoying Corrado's collection here is a pair by William Paris of Warwick, the grandson of the more famous Nicholas Paris.  The pistols date to c.1740 and on each escutcheon is engraved the owner's crest - a long-necked bird (heron? but only the neck is displayed) with a small fish in its beak.  If anyone can discover what family bore this crest I would be most interested to know. Regards to all. Neil |
