Pair of Limerick marked Irish Percussion Pocket Pistols
A handsome pair of percussion pocket pistols, with outside hammers and rammers, by Bond, marked Limerick, in Ireland. Bond was a well-known English gun maker, with shops in London and in Ireland in the 1850’s. This is a nicely done pair of relatively large box lock pocket pistols, with side hammers and externally mounted ram rods. They have octagonal barrels, and handsomely checkered grips with unengraved silver escutcheon plates. Both pistols have Birmingham proofs. Dimensions: Each barrel is 4 inches long. Each pistol is 8 inches long overall. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $25.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Condition:
The pistols are quite dirty, but should clean well. Neither pistol’s mainspring is working. One rammer is missing the inner end piece
