A rare English Queen Anne style half stocked silver mounted cannon barrel flintlock pistol. Circa 1760. The side plate engraved T. DAVIS. 5.5 inch screw off cannon barrel. London proof marks to the breech. Silver escutcheon to the grip. Silver grotesque mask butt cap. Silver stand of arms side plate. Engraved trigger guard. Queen Anne Pistols are thought to have first been produced as early as 1660 although they did not become popular until the early 1700s during the reign of Queen Anne of Great Britain. The Queen Anne style was used throughout the expanding British empire. Outside of Great Britain a significant number of Queen Anne pistols are thought to have been carried during the American Revolution. Some pistols were documented when they came into the possession of the Revolutionaries during the siege of Boston in April 1775 to March 1776 after the population in the town took up arms against the British who controlled the town. A good historic pistol. Action in good working order. In excellent condition showing little signs of use and wear. Overall length 12 inch. Ref 3783.
