Were these pistols used in combat?

Many holster and greatcoat pistols served as personal defence weapons for travellers facing highwaymen during the Georgian era. Others were produced for military officers who purchased their own sidearms independently.

What is a Queen Anne pistol?

A distinctive firearm style featuring a breech and action forged in a single piece with the barrel, usually unscrewing for loading. This design gained popularity during the early 18th century and often includes a characteristic round or grotesque mask butt cap.

How can I tell English from French pieces?

English firearms from this era frequently showcase detailed silver wire inlay, hallmarked mounts, and signature engraving on the lock plate. French pieces, such as those signed from Paris, often exhibit distinct barrel profiles and brass furniture with characteristic regional shaping.
