EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF BALTIMORE FLINTLOCK POCKET PISTOLS.

SN NSN. This beautiful fine pair of small flintlock pistols are marked in oval gold insets in frame “HASLETT, BALTIMORE”. Pan and vents are also gold lined and guns are mounted with silver wire and pin inlay with engraved bbls, trigger guards and screws. One gun is numbered “1” and appears in its orig configuration where its mate is unnumbered but both have same dimensions being 5-3/4″ overall with 1-1/2″ screw in bbls. James Haslett was a well known American gun maker working from 1803 until 1830. Haslett originally from Ireland had studied Robert McCormick of Belfast, a well known and respected Irish gunmaker. Haslett brought these Irish refinements to his Baltimore wares which are quite rare. Note the fine engraved panoply of arms and sunburst engraved on these guns. PROVENANCE: Dr. John Hill Collection. Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Gun 1) very good to fine overall. Metal is gray with scattered staining and pitting. Markings all discernible. Stock is sound with hand worn patina missing a couple of the thin silver wire inlays. Hammer spring very weak otherwise functional with clean bore. Gun 2) hammer, hammer screw, trigger guard screw and tang screw are all restored. Front sight has been cut down. Stock is restored about 1″ where abutting tang and frame with restored inlays and pins in a different style from gun 1) as can be seen in photographs. There is no discernible number for screw out bbl and breech like that found on gun 1). Pewter shields in buttcaps are sound and well fit with numerous small scratches with gray patina. These guns though engraving on back sides of frames around gold maker insets are different panoplies of arms they still originally could have been a matched pair. 4-49745 JS332 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3454
