Matched pair of British naval officer's flintlock pistols with brass barrels, ca. 1800. 1 lb 12 oz, 14-1/2" long each. Choice pair with high-quality locks with rollers on frizzen springs, matching in design but signed by different makers--J&W Richards on one, T. Ketland Company on the other (both known suppliers to the British government)--with full English proofmarks on the octagonal-to-round barrels, lightly engraved brass furniture, original wooden ramrods with screw-tip ball extractors at inside ends, both pieces fully functional and well taken care of. With photo-certificate.
Estimate: $2000 - 3000
