Attractive British Screw Barrel Percussion Muff Pistol by J. Wheeler
39 bore, 2 1/2'' round barrel with a vey good bore showing some light pitting. The barrel and rounded frame of this nice little pistol retain about 75% nice case-hardened colors that have drifted somewhat to a fine smoky gray mixing with silvery case-hardened patina and vibrant wisps in the protected areas. The dolphin hammer shows vibrant colors throughout, the folding trigger retains flashes of brilliant fire blue and the action shows lovely crisp foliate scrollwork and makers name along the left side. The pistol shows period Birmingham proofs and the finely checkered walnut grip remains in very fine condition showing a couple of minor drying cracks forming and some lightly chipped points. There is an un-engraved German silver monogram plate atop the grip and a nice German silver grip cap with lidded compartment. The lock is crisp and features a sliding half cock safety. This pistol appears to have seen very little actual use and remains in very fine condition, well above average for these popular concealed carry guns. (13A11777-12) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
