Kavanagh Percussion 2 Shot. Turnover Pistol. Tapered Solid Barrel Cluster.

 

 Kavanagh

Dublin

 


 

                   This style of pistol appears to be unique to the Kavanagh's in Ireland although

                           English gunmakers did use this form of solid tapered barrel cluster.

                 The engraving and etching of this pistol being of particularly high quality. c.1840

                      Our sincere thanks to the owner for photography and permission to publish. 

                               NB: A loading-rod being located in the base of the stock
