CASED PAIR OF WESTLEY RICHARDS TRAVELER’S PISTOLS.

CASED PAIR OF WESTLEY RICHARDS TRAVELER’S PISTOLS. Cal. About 65. NSN. Fine brace of pistols with 8” damascus oct bbls with maker’s name on top flat. They have a brass bead front sight with a fixed rear sight mounted to breech plug. Tangs & breech plugs are beautifully engraved. They have short, slightly curved lockplates with flat side, reinforced hammers, both nicely engraved. They have sliding safeties with roller frizzens, scalloped pans & shields with platinum lined flash holes. Simple trigger guards are nicely engraved. They have lightly decorated iron nose pipes with captive rammers. They are mounted in nicely figured 1-pc stocks with raised teardrop side panels & rnd-butt grips with flat checkering. Accompanied by a green, baize lined, oak casing, probably not for these pistols, compartment for pistols & other implements, but have only a brass tipped rammer & an iron tipped worm. Both have ebony handles. Also included is a tiny, smooth, Dixon style bag flask, probably not for this set. Inside lid is label for “EDWARD LONDON, / GUNMAKER / 51 LONDON WALL, LONDON”. CONDITION: Pistols are extremely fine, nearly new. With both being in about identical condition. They retain most of their orig maker’s finish with fine brown Damascus pattern & case hardened lockplates, hammers & top tangs. Stocks are sound with light handling & use marks, mostly on left sides and retain virtually all of their orig varnish. Trigger guards & nose pipes retain most of their orig blue with one pistol being a little stronger than the other. Case has a repaired lid & is moderately soiled & faded inside with soil, stain & moderate to heavy storage marks on outside, with an old refinish. Interior has probably been reconfigured for these pistols. Flask retains traces of orig finish with a dent & some pitting. Ramrod handle has a gouge, otherwise tools are fine. Wm. Hancock Collection 4-58580 JR426 (7,500-10,000)
