CASED PAIR OF SMITH PERCUSSION TARGET PISTOLS. Cal. .50. 10-1/8″ oct bbls. Marked “SMITH” on the lockplates and “SMITH LONDON DC-5357” on one and “DC-5358” on the other. This is a registration mark at Dublin Castle. They are cased in a period case for other guns. They will not fit in the case with their ramrods in place and the spurs on the triggerguard rub the bbl on the other pistol. The mahogany case is engraved “J. G. Hamilton” on the carrying handle. It is lined in green cloth and contains a screwdriver, a bullet mold, a 3-compartment flask, an oiler, some balls and some tow. CONDITION: The pistols are fine with most of an old rebrown finish on the bbls and good casehardening colors on the lockplates and hammers. The cleaning end at the end of the ramrod is missing. The stocks are excellent. The added spurs on the triggerguard retain most of their blue but the guard itself has only traces. The actions are fine. The case has minor scratches on the surface. The interior lining is rust stained and worn in the center. One of the compartment edges is broken off and missing and some of the cloth edges are worn. The bullet mold is probably a replacement because it is unfinished. Hamilton Collection 4-52127 FS364 (4,000-6,000)
