DURS EGG FLINTLOCK OFFICERS PISTOL. SN 123. (ca 1800) Cal. 65. 7″ Ovate twist bbl is inlaid with gold “D. EGG LONDON” on top flat with inset front bead and dovetailed through V-notch rear.

There is a gold band at breech end of bbl, and touch hole is gold lined. Breech iron is engraved with stand-of-arms and floral motif. High quality lock, with semi-waterproof pan, is fitted with bridled roller frizzen with roller on spring. Chamfered lockplate has rebated tail and is mounted with chamfered serpentine cock. Cock and lock are engraved with same motifs as breech iron. “D. Egg” is in front of cock.

Greenheart ramrod has horn tip. CONDITION: Very fine as partially refinished. Bbl retains nearly all of a correctly colored, and probably “period of use” re-brown, with excellent definition to pattern. Lock shows light cleaning to pewter gray over some minor freckling. Furniture re-blued over minor pinprick pitting. Stock lightly refinished, leaving edges sharp. Bore is fine, shiny with some pitting. Lock is crisp.
