James Wilkinson & Son Massive Flintlock Double Barrel Officer's Howdah Pistol .65 Cal 1st Light Cavalry 1820
Description:
*SALE PENDING* Jeremiah Johnson Trading is one of the most experienced and trusted dealers of antique arms with over 40 years of collecting. We also specialize in antique cars & petroliana, Revolutionary and Civil War artifacts, 19th century nautical & western memorabilia, early Bowie and folding knives, American folk art, and colonial era furnishings. Visit us online at JeremiahJohnsonTrading or find us on Facebook. Our shop is located at 1618 Saybrook Rd. Haddam, CT. Look for the gold '55 Chevy road sign! ~Trades and offers are always considered~ Very Rare & Fine Massive James Wilkinson & Son, London, England Flintlock Double Barrel Officer's Howdah Pistol Identified to the 1st Light Cavalry with Factory Letter, .65 cal smoothbore, mfg. 1820. This is a wildly impressive pistol that must be held to be truly appreciated. Factory records indicate serial number 1445 was completed in March of 1820 and purchased by Bazet, Farquhar (Crawford) & Co. as part of a 16 gun order of identical double barrel pistols. Bazett, Farquhar, Crawford & Co existed between 1816-1828 and held office at 71 Old Broad St. in London. They were East India agents and merchants actively shipping goods to Calcutta and Bombay. The pistol was retailed to an officer of the 1st Light Cavalry (likely the Madras or Bengal Natives) for the purpose of self defense against tigers and other dangerous game that might have been encountered while serving under the British Crown in India. It is a substantial piece weighing 3 lbs 3 oz and measuring 13 5/8" long overall. The 7 1/2" long Damascus barrels feature a double gold banded breech with platinum blow plugs and a bead front sight. The upper rib is inscribed "JAs WILKINSON & SON LONDON GUN MAKERS To His MAJESTY". The locks are of superb quality inside and out and feature roller frizzens with gold lined pans and sliding safeties. Both are marked "JAs WILKINSON / & SON" and remain in their original flintlock form with original components except for the left cock which is a replacement (retaining the original top jaw). Serial number "1445" is stamped under the barrels and inscribed inside both locks with partial number "45" engraved on the frizzens. The barrels have a light plum/gray patina with vivid Damascus pattern remaining while the locks and tang show mottled case color faded to silver. The gun is beautifully engraved throughout. The stock is nicely figured and features a finely checkered wrist retaining a beautifully untouched finish throughout. Aside from two small old chips along the left edge of the forestock the wood remains excellent overall with no cracks or repairs. Brass buttcap, triggerguard, ramrod entry pipe, and wedge escutcheons all have an attractive dark mustard color. The buttcap is inscribed "1st / L C" above the owner's initials which I can not positively decipher. The inscription is very worn and difficult to read however further research should be done to possibly identify the officer who carried this pistol. Original military style swivel ramrod as specified in the factory ledger. Both actions are perfectly crisp and function flawlessly featuring internal and external (sliding) safeties. The frizzens both snap shut and spring forward with remarkable force as if they were new. Very good bores with smooth bright surfaces and minor blackpowder frosting. A factory letter is included along with a scan of the original Wilkinson records. Howdah pistols of this age, quality, and size are rarely encountered - let alone examples that can be documented to India with military ownership! An outstanding centerpiece for any collection. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique firearms. Antique firearms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique firearms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any handgun (antique or muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction) shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition. Antique muzzleloaders, or antiques which fire obsolete cartridges, may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, or credit card (no fees). Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus return shipping costs. Cleaning, disassembly, or altering of a firearm in any way will void inspection privileges. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping & insurance costs. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account however it will be noted that any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with our business. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. Message or call with any questions about this firearm, or any of our other items at 860-873-1092 (office) or 860-345-2100 (shop).

James Wilkinson & Son Massive Flintlock Double Barrel Officer's Howdah Pistol .65 Cal 1st Light Cavalry 1820
Description:
*SALE PENDING* Jeremiah Johnson Trading is one of the most experienced and trusted dealers of antique arms with over 40 years of collecting. We also specialize in antique cars & petroliana, Revolutionary and Civil War artifacts, 19th century nautical & western memorabilia, early Bowie and folding knives, American folk art, and colonial era furnishings. Visit us online at JeremiahJohnsonTrading or find us on Facebook. Our shop is located at 1618 Saybrook Rd. Haddam, CT. Look for the gold '55 Chevy road sign! ~Trades and offers are always considered~ Very Rare & Fine Massive James Wilkinson & Son, London, England Flintlock Double Barrel Officer's Howdah Pistol Identified to the 1st Light Cavalry with Factory Letter, .65 cal smoothbore, mfg. 1820. This is a wildly impressive pistol that must be held to be truly appreciated. Factory records indicate serial number 1445 was completed in March of 1820 and purchased by Bazet, Farquhar (Crawford) & Co. as part of a 16 gun order of identical double barrel pistols. Bazett, Farquhar, Crawford & Co existed between 1816-1828 and held office at 71 Old Broad St. in London. They were East India agents and merchants actively shipping goods to Calcutta and Bombay. The pistol was retailed to an officer of the 1st Light Cavalry (likely the Madras or Bengal Natives) for the purpose of self defense against tigers and other dangerous game that might have been encountered while serving under the British Crown in India. It is a substantial piece weighing 3 lbs 3 oz and measuring 13 5/8" long overall. The 7 1/2" long Damascus barrels feature a double gold banded breech with platinum blow plugs and a bead front sight. The upper rib is inscribed "JAs WILKINSON & SON LONDON GUN MAKERS To His MAJESTY". The locks are of superb quality inside and out and feature roller frizzens with gold lined pans and sliding safeties. Both are marked "JAs WILKINSON / & SON" and remain in their original flintlock form with original components except for the left cock which is a replacement (retaining the original top jaw). Serial number "1445" is stamped under the barrels and inscribed inside both locks with partial number "45" engraved on the frizzens. The barrels have a light plum/gray patina with vivid Damascus pattern remaining while the locks and tang show mottled case color faded to silver. The gun is beautifully engraved throughout. The stock is nicely figured and features a finely checkered wrist retaining a beautifully untouched finish throughout. Aside from two small old chips along the left edge of the forestock the wood remains excellent overall with no cracks or repairs. Brass buttcap, triggerguard, ramrod entry pipe, and wedge escutcheons all have an attractive dark mustard color. The buttcap is inscribed "1st / L C" above the owner's initials which I can not positively decipher. The inscription is very worn and difficult to read however further research should be done to possibly identify the officer who carried this pistol. Original military style swivel ramrod as specified in the factory ledger. Both actions are perfectly crisp and function flawlessly featuring internal and external (sliding) safeties. The frizzens both snap shut and spring forward with remarkable force as if they were new. Very good bores with smooth bright surfaces and minor blackpowder frosting. A factory letter is included along with a scan of the original Wilkinson records. Howdah pistols of this age, quality, and size are rarely encountered - let alone examples that can be documented to India with military ownership! An outstanding centerpiece for any collection.
