  • Description:

    This pocket pistol was built as a percussion pistol and not converted from flint.  The barrel and frame show Birmingham proofs.  The 1 3/4" barrel is 44 caliber.  The overall length is 6".  The action functions as does the flip down trigger.  This piece is a very good example of a percussion pocket pistol that appear to be scarcer than the flint pockets.  These pistols were the English equivalent of the American Derringer pistols.
