c1840s ENGRAVED Antique HOLLIS & SONS British .40 Cal. Pistol GERMAN SILVER Nice London Made PERCUSSION PISTOL
Description: c1840s ENGRAVED Antique HOLLIS & SONS British .40 Cal. Pistol GERMAN SILVER Nice London Made PERCUSSION PISTOL Here we present an antique Richard Hollis & Sons Percussion Pistol made circa 1840 in London, England. Richard Hollis was active in England from the early to mid-1800s and appears to have passed away sometime before 1847 as an advertisement from that year shows the company reformed as Hollis Brothers & Co. Hollis & Sons started out in the early part of the 19th century with the name of “Hollis Brothers”. It continued under that trade name until 1847 when it was re-named “Hollis Brothers & Co. which continued until 1848, when it became “Hollis & Sheath” after Isaac took on Isaac Brentnall Sheath as a partner. This continued until 1861 when the firm changed its name to I. Hollis & Sons on the departure of Sheath. This example has a German silver blade front and notch rear sights, with “London FINE WIRE TWIST” on the top flat and scroll engraving on the tang and silver and gold banded breech. It has a German silver lock plate, with “Rich Hollis & Sons” behind the fish head hammer. The checkered stock also has German silver fittings, and engraved trigger guard, and a round butt plate. The overall condition is fine. Excellent action. The bore is in great shape with strong rifling. The stock is solid and very nice. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches. Caliber: .40 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #227608 SOLD Antique: Yes |
