The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Developed in the early nineteenth century, percussion pocket pistols utilised a cap lock mechanism to ignite gunpowder, providing a compact personal defence firearm prior to the widespread adoption of modern cartridges.

Pistols from this period were constructed using forged steel or iron for the barrel and lock mechanism, combined with dense hardwoods such as walnut or ebony for the carved stock.

Authenticity is indicated by regional proof marks, maker stamps on the lock or barrel, hand-engraved metalwork, and precise period-correct features like turn-off octagonal barrels and chequered grips.

Compact antique firearms are ideally mounted within bespoke glass shadow boxes or positioned on brass display stands atop a study desk or bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes.

Store the item in a stable humidity environment, apply microcrystalline wax to metal components to prevent oxidisation, and wipe wooden grips with a dry microfiber cloth.
