Pepperbox pistol 1840s?
This pepperbox is entirely unmarked, there seem to be numbers on the chambers. I only assume 1840s, English ? or Belgian?
The butt compartment to hold caps still had caps inside, exactly as it was found 50 yrs ago. Any information? |

As there are Birmingham proof- and viewmarks besides the n°2 barrel this should be an English product.

Hi Jim,
This is a very nice Pepperbox pistol. It surprises me that with the quality engraving etc that there is no Makers or Sellers name on it. For your information attached is info on British Proof Marks which I hope ypu will find of interest. https://www.vintageguns.co.uk/magazine/514-2 Stu |
