FAQs

Tower percussion pistols were standard-issue firearms produced at the Tower of London for British military forces during the 19th century, marking the technological transition from flintlock to percussion cap ignition.

These pistols typically feature seasoned hardwood stocks, such as walnut, combined with forged iron or steel barrels and brass or iron furniture components.

Authentic pieces generally display official government acceptance marks, crown stamps, and Tower arsenal markings on the lock plate, alongside period-correct wear and construction methods.

Displaying historical firearms involves mounting them securely in shadow boxes or placing them on specialized stands within studies, libraries, or curated display cabinets.

Preservation requires maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, applying light museum-grade wax or oil to metal surfaces to prevent oxidation, and keeping wooden stocks conditioned.
